Radically accelerating air travel
About us
Hermeus is a startup developing hypersonic aircraft to radically accelerate air travel. At Mach 5, more than twice the speed of the supersonic Concorde, passengers will be able to cross the Atlantic in 90 minutes. On the path to hypersonic passenger aircraft, Hermeus is partnering with government agencies including the US Air Force and NASA to develop a series of autonomous aircraft that derisk the technology and solve urgent national security challenges. These products provide the data and confidence necessary to certify, produce, operate, and maintain safe and comfortable commercial aircraft. Hypersonic aircraft have the potential to create trillions of dollars of new global economic growth per year, unlocking significant resources that can be utilized to solve the world’s greatest problems.

The Jet Age didn’t just give us faster planes. It gave us globalism, just-in-time supply chains, and moonshots. When we made flight beautiful and fast, we built the modern world. But since then, civilizational speed has stagnated. Hermeus represents a return to ambition, merging the raw power of hypersonics with a builder’s mindset that says we can do better than incremental progress. This isn’t speed for its own sake. It’s speed as a tool for transformation. Hypersonic aircraft have the potential to collapse distances, connect cultures, and redefine geopolitical and commercial influence. This is a test flight for a broader idea: that civilizational velocity is a choice. And that we can choose to go fast again.

We choose to go fast - not because it's easy, but because it's needed. Our mission is to unleash American air power - one rapidly developed aircraft at a time. Fast planes fast. To see more, check out the Abundance Institute's full feature on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eSHPFebU.

"If you can play five chess moves in the time your enemy is playing one, you're probably gonna win." Hermeus' CEO, AJ Piplica, spoke with Forbes about the future of high-speed aircraft and survivability. Watch the full Forbes feature on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gfipPRUX

The sound barrier was once thought to be a destructive wall no aircraft could cross and survive. The Bell X-1 challenged that. On Oct. 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager flew Mach 1.06 in the rocket-powered aircraft — breaking the barrier — and changed aviation forever. Honoring the legacy. Building the future. We are Hermeus.

You're looking at the "Iron Bird," Hermeus' facility housing the insides of Quarterhorse Mk 2, including the inflight power generators, control surfaces, and landing gear. This set up enables us to rapidly test and iterate on all subsystems in parallel — outside the vehicle — before they're integrated into the final frames.
