This year’s DEVELOP3D LIVE keynote speakers, Reaction Engines, have announced its £60m grant by the government to help it continue the development of its Skylon plane and Sabre engines.
The funding will also be used to help develop the company at its base at Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire, from being mainly research-based to testing and eventual commercial applications.
BAE Systems has also bought a 20 per cent stake of the company for £20.6m.
