Design and development

The Soar was developed in the early 1950s, and was first demonstrated at the Farnborough Airshow in 1953 on each wingtip of a Gloster Meteor flying testbed.

The output of the improved RB.93 Soar was 1,750 lbf (7.8 kN). As an expendable device the life of the Soar engines was very limited, two or three hours at most.
