The Reaction Engines Scimitar is a derivative of the SABRE engine technology, but intended for jet airliners (the Reaction Engines LAPCAT A2 concept), rather than space launch applications. Consequently, most of the Scimitar engine technology is similar to SABRE but designed for much longer life. [ 1 ]
Ubisoft Anvil (until 2009 known as Scimitar and between 2012 and 2020 as AnvilNext) is a game engine created by Ubisoft Montreal and used in the Assassin's Creed video game series as well as other Ubisoft games.
The new Scimitar GT car retained the straight-six engine from the Sabre, but with triple SU carburettors as standard it now produced 120 bhp and propelled the car to a top speed of 117 mph (188 km/h). It was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1964; it was praised for its elegant lines and performance figures for a price of £1,292.
Reaction Engines Limited (REL) was a British aerospace manufacturer founded in 1989 and based in Oxfordshire, England. [1] The company also operated in the USA, where it used the name Reaction Engines Inc. (REI). REL entered administration on 31 October 2024. Both REL and REI ceased operations and laid off the bulk of their staff.
The FV107 Scimitar is one of the CVR(T) series of vehicles. The first prototype was completed in 1971. [3] After being accepted for service in 1973, deliveries to Belgium and the UK commenced in 1974. [3] Initially, the engine was the Jaguar J60 4.2-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine, the same as used by several Jaguar cars.
Modern usage of scimitar propellers centers around turboprop and propfan engines. Since these forms of propulsion are capable of driving a propeller at transsonic or supersonic rotational speeds, as well as propelling aircraft to similarly high speeds, mitigation of wave drag is an important consideration in achieving high aerodynamic efficiency.
The Scimitar engines use technology related to the company's earlier SABRE engine, which is intended for space launch, but here adapted for very long distance, very high speed travel. [citation needed] Normally, as air enters a jet engine, it is compressed by the inlet, and thus heats up. It needs much more power to compress that heated air ...
SABRE (Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine [4]) was a concept under development by Reaction Engines Limited for a hypersonic precooled hybrid air-breathing rocket engine. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The engine is designed to achieve single-stage-to-orbit capability, propelling the proposed Skylon spaceplane to low Earth orbit.
