"This craft is powered by a new kind of engine, known as a SABRE engine.
REL asserts that this engine will be capable of operating as a jet engine
and a rocket engine. Amazingly, it will have the ability to power an
aircraft at up to five times the speed of sound within the atmosphere, or
it could send a craft directly into Earth orbit at twenty-five times the
speed of sound."

This was developed by the British, and amazingly, not the United States,
despite our huge defense budget...   ;   )
