Sabre by James Follett

Flight time from London to Sydney: ninety minutes. Sabre 005, a synergetic, air-breathing rocket engine, that will revolutionise air travel as the world knows it. Paul Santos, a French engineer, developed the aircraft. A jet in the atmosphere and a rocket in space, Sabre 005 is set for its first ever commercial test flight - and its fare-paying passengers are already scheduled for one year's time. Joe Yavanoski, a union boss forced to retire, knows the threat Sabre 005 poses.

All they have to do is get on board ...
