Booster system for Saunders-Roe Skeeter, developed in collaboration with rocket engine manufacturers, D.Napier and Son, gives machine greatly enhanced vertical flight and climb performances, and permits operation with higher payloads in more severe climatic/altitude conditions than normally possible; if main power plant fails, booster power is always available as standby for emergency landing.
