As the world counts down to midnight, we’re counting down too:

To the moment XB-1 breaks the sound barrier and makes history as the first independently developed supersonic aircraft.

Here’s to breaking barriers in 2025!

In October 2024, Reaction Engines crashed into administration, laying off 173 of the 208 staff who were made redundant. The company failed to secure the additional £20 million in funding from UAE's Strategic Development Fund needed to keep the company afloat.

Reaction Engines' history involves multiple other studies, including LAPCAT A2, a hypersonic passenger aircraft, a Passenger Module for Skylon, a modular Orbital Base Station, Project Troy, a proposed crewed mission to Mars, and even a space tug dubbed Fluyt OTV.
