The RAPIER (Reactive Alternate-Propellent Intelligent Engine for Rockets) is a hybrid engine. It can change between a airbreathing jet and a liquid fuel engine. It has the feature to auto adjust, change between jet and rocket automatically when it runs out of intake air. This engine is in-game counterpart of the real life SABRE engine.
Usage
This is the only hybrid engine ingame, it is especially useful for SSTO designs. The engine doesn't has the efficiency of normal jet engines, even when in jet mode or the efficiency of a similar rocket engine when in rocket mode, but because it can switch between may be a better choice than a Toroidal Aerospike Rocket for orbital insertion.
