Description
Description | HOTOL (Horizontal Take-Off and Landing) was a British-designed single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) space plane developed in the mid-1980s by British Aerospace and Rolls-Royce. It was designed as a reusable winged launch vehicle capable of taking off from a conventional runway and landing as an unpowered glider. The project aimed to provide a cheaper and more efficient satellite launch platform using a revolutionary air-breathing jet engine (RB545 'Swallow'). The project faced technical, financial, and international collaboration challenges and was ultimately cancelled in 1989. |
