Reactive engine streamlines operations amid cash issues

UK – Reaction Engines Ltd., a prominent British aerospace company known for its pioneering hypersonic engine technology, is implementing cost-cutting measures to prevent a potential cash shortage expected in June. The company, which is backed by industry giants including Boeing Co, Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC and BAE Systems PLC, has taken a conservative approach to its finances after 28 years of pre-tax losses and expects to grow by 2022. A loss of £7 million.

Despite financial hurdles, Reaction Engines has made significant progress in revenue, which is set to grow fourfold by 2023, driven by lucrative business deals. One of the key applications driving this growth is the use of advanced heat exchange technology in Formula 1 racing. Chief Executive Mark Thomas confirmed the company was exploring various avenues to reduce spending. This includes delaying the relocation of the headquarters. However, Thomas has yet to reveal any intentions regarding workforce changes.

The company has a strong reputation in aerospace, particularly in developing engines capable of speeds up to Mach 25, which are critical for space flight. In addition to its financial efforts, Reaction Engines remains committed to innovation in sustainable aviation and clean energy solutions. The company is also partnering with Virgin Galactic to develop space planes, demonstrating its commitment to advancing aerospace technology despite current economic challenges.
