We're building the world's fastest aircraft. Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. We work directly with the Department of Defense to deliver capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.
Our approach is different - we use an integrated, hardware-rich, iterative development process that lets us move at the speed of relevance. We're not just designing aircraft; we're building them, testing them, and learning from them in rapid cycles. Our Quarterhorse Program is actively unlocking unmanned high-speed flight through a series of purpose-built aircraft, each designed to tackle specific technical challenges and incrementally de-risk hypersonic technology. The key to it all is Chimera, our hybrid turbine-based combined cycle engine that can take off from a runway, break the sound barrier, and accelerate to hypersonic speeds.
