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 ]
The engine was originally known as Scimitar. [2] Creative Director of Ubisoft Montreal Patrice Désilets said the engine was written from the ground up for Assassin's Creed in 2007. [ 3 ] The engine uses Autodesk 's HumanIK middleware to correctly position the character's hands and feet in climbing and pushing animations at run-time.
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.
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 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.
The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.16 (or A.W.XVI) was a single-engine biplane fighter aircraft designed and built by the British aircraft manufacturer Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft. It was a single bay biplane with wings of unequal span braced with N -type interwing struts, and bore a close family resemblance to the A.W.XIV Starling Mk I, though with ...
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 ...
The A.W.35 Scimitar was a development of Armstrong Whitworth's earlier Armstrong Whitworth A.W.16 fighter, powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Panther engine, with a lowered nose decking and an enlarged fin and rudder. The first prototype (G-ACCD) was a modification of the second A.W.16, and first flew in this form on 29 April 1935. [1]
