Welcome to Space Store Live! - Talks

In this week Laksh will be joined by Jamie Wakefield. Jamie will go through an overview of our SABRE engine and offshoot technologies/ventures as well as a brief history of Reaction Engines. He will also talk about the work they’re doing currently on our core engine demonstrator and the successful Mach 5 precooler test campaign we conducted towards the end of last year. Jamie will delve into a bit more detail on my role as a design engineer, his day-to-day and the projects being worked on, and to finish off: a bit about his path to Reaction Engines and the graduate scheme.

About Jamie,
Jamie Wakefield is a graduate engineer at Reaction Engines Ltd., having joined the graduate scheme in October 2019. His first placement has been within the design team, working primarily on the heat exchanger comprising the regenerator sub-system for the SABRE demonstrator engine. He has also worked as a design engineer in the applied technologies department, which has been applying Reaction Engines’ revolutionary heat exchanger technology to applications in motorsport.

Jamie graduated from the University of Bristol in July 2019 with a Master of Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering. In university he specialised in aerodynamics, stability analysis and control systems and his master’s research focused on the development of a novel coupled flight mechanics model for tiltrotor stability analysis. He presented this research at the AIAA Aviation conference in June 2019, and has been awarded the Airbus prize and Raoul Hafner prize from the University of Bristol for the research.

In his spare time, Jamie is an avid bread baker and enjoys going for an evening run after work. Over lockdown he’s been (slowly) designing an outdoor pizza/bread oven to hopefully increase production capacity!
