Its innovative to the test results: “The pre-cooler test objectives have all been successfully met and ESA are satisfied that the tests demonstrate the technology required for the SABRE engine development.”. Volvo Aero and the Swedish Government are each investing SEK 63 million (US$9 million) to support the development of lightweight components for more fuel-efficient aircraft engines. The way Epstein remembers it, every In Epstein's view, machines are in the midst of a design revolution akin to what electronics went through decades ago, when transistors and computer chips spurred development of smaller and smaller products. SABRE, an air-breathing rocket engine, uses a combination of jet turbine and rocket technology. Later in 1942, he visited GE in Schenectady, NY, where a rudimentary propeller jet engine was under development. This was the motivation behind the development of the gas turbine engine, commonly called a “jet” engine, which would become almost as revolutionary to aviation as the Wright brothers' first flight. Each country claimed an inventor with a patent on a jet turbine engine. Ultra-lightweight heat exchangers are the key enabling components in SABRE engines for Mach 5 cruise and aircraft-like access to space (credit: Reaction Engines). Btw, the fact that Chrysler and Rover built and then abandoned gas turbines for cars is entirely irrelevant to this discussion of aviation jet engines. Because turbine failure can be so catastrophic—the engines propel jet aircraft, after all, and are used by electric utilities to generate power—caution is the rule in the esoteric world of turbine R&D. The jet turbine developed rapidly during World War II, largely driven by British and German research. He met with officials from General Electric in Lynn, MA and Bell Aircraft Company in Buffalo, NY. This marks the government authority Vinnova's first distribution of .
