Mission Profile
The Skylon (Skylon SSTO Spaceplane) is a proposed single-stage-to-orbit British spaceplane concept in the HOTOL lineage, designed to take off and land on a conventional runway using revolutionary SABRE air-breathing/rocket hybrid engines. Standing 84 m long with a 6.3 m fuselage diameter and a projected takeoff mass of 275 tonnes, it would deliver 15,000 kg to low Earth orbit. Under development since 1993 by Reaction Engines Limited, the Skylon represents one of the most ambitious SSTO concepts ever seriously pursued, though it remains in the technology demonstrator phase as SABRE engine development continues.
