<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Billed as the first of its kind, it would be able to drop a nuclear warhead before returning to its base in Russia.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">A functional engine will be developed by 2020, according to Colonel Alexei Solodovnikov, who is working on the project.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" id="ext-gen186">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">He
 said: ‘This will be a strategic aircraft. It will fly into outer space

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">He

<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">According
 to the Strategic Missile Forces Academy, the engine will operate in two
 modes, one using kerosene fuel for conventional flight and the other 
methane and oxygen to power the craft into space.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">British
 firm Reaction Engines says its own hypersonic engine will be ready by 
2020. The European Space Agency has invested more than £7.5million 
toward the development of the SABRE engine, which could enable aircraft 
to fly anywhere in four hours.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">US
 officials have not revealed whether their own next generation bomber 
will fly at hypersonic speed, but the US Air Force said in 2007 its 
aircraft would likely be subsonic to control costs.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">To fly hypersonic means flying at Mach 5, five times the speed of sound at 3,840 mph, or faster.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Britain’s
 closest programme to the Russian hypersonic jet is a top secret stealth
 drone being developed by BAE Systems. The £200million Taranis aircraft

that can attack deep into enemy territory while evading sophisticated 
defences.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">An
 RAF source said: ‘The RAF has a futuristic programme called Taranis 
which is a stealth drone with similar capabilities but it does not 
operate in the outer atmosphere.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Britain’s
 current fastest jet is the Eurofighter Typhoon, which has a top speed 
of around Mach 2, or 1,550 mph. Speaking about US capabilities compared 
to the Russians’, the RAF source said: ‘Whatever you can imagine in your
 wildest dreams the US has probably advanced thirty years on that. If 
the Russians are developing it the US will already be streets ahead.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">After
 the launch of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, by the 
USSR in 1957, then US senator Lyndon Johnson warned: ‘Whoever controls 
space controls the world.’ In 1983 president Ronald Reagan proposed the 
creation of the infamous space-based Strategic Defense Initiative.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">This
 plan for a satellite-regulated missile shield that could automatically 
dismantle incoming nuclear weapons was immediately dubbed Star Wars. It 
was launched after the president’s speech testifying to the superior 
nuclear capabilities of the Soviet Union.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Although
 work was begun on the programme, the technology proved too complex and

<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">British Reaction Reaction Engines says its  hypersonic engine will also take to the skies by 2020.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The
 revolutionary Sabre engine could allow aircraft to take off from a 
runway and accelerate to five times the speed of sound, before switching
 to a rocket mode, propelling it into orbit.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The Sabre engine works by burning atmospheric air in combustion chambers. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It then uses the heat to turbo-charge the engine.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">At
 the moment, rockets have to carry liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to 
power them and the cost of carrying this heavy fuel is expensive. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The
 new engine creates its own liquid oxygen by cooling air entering the 
engine from 1,000°C to minus 150°C in a hundredth of a second – six 
times faster than the blink of an eye – without creating ice blockages.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">This
 new class of aerospace engine is designed to enable aircraft to operate
 from standstill on the runway to speeds of over five times the speed of
 sound in the atmosphere. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It
 can then transition to a rocket mode of operation, allowing spaceflight
 at speeds up to orbital velocity, equivalent to 25 times the speed of 
sound.</span></div>
