Re: Reaction Engines Ltd. Skylon (Reusable Spaceplane)
There was an excellent multi-page article on the SABRE development project in last weeks Flight International...It's looking very promising.

And the Americans, Japanese and potentially others... ..The Americans probably won't even allow their 6th Gen plane to be sold to other countries, like the F22.

Re: Future UK Combat Aircraft (Project Tempest)
Short of a total economic collapse in the next few years, I really can't see this project not going forward after 2025, to full production. There is just no way that this country will leave the projected $250-$300bn export market for 6th Gen Fighters, to the French & Germans. That is just not go...

Re: Brexit - The UK's EU Referendum & Withdrawal
There will be more grey spots on the map within the decade. Once France & Germany start to throw their weight around, without the British to counter-balance, countries will quickly tire of being railroaded into policies only designed to suit Paris & Berlin and their protected economic intere...
