Hermeus is developing a hypersonic aircraft capable of reaching speeds of Mach 5, which is over twice the speed of the Concorde, allowing for travel at approximately 3,800 miles per hour. This technology aims to significantly reduce travel times for airlines and government agencies interested in high-speed transportation. The aircraft's engine is powered by the Pratt & Whitney F100 turbine, and the company has recently achieved a milestone by successfully testing this engine. Hermeus generates revenue by producing and selling these hypersonic aircraft. Unlike its competitors, Hermeus has demonstrated strong investor confidence, recently raising $100 million in a Series B funding round led by Sam Altman, which highlights its potential in the aerospace industry. The company's goal is to revolutionize high-speed travel through the development of advanced aircraft technology.

↑ 4%Supersonic RebirthSince the beginning of air travel, the industry has always looked at ways to move more people quicker and/or cheaper. When supersonic flight was invented shortly after World War II, it was expected to progressively take over the industry, at least for long-distance flights, where the extra speed converted into a much superior user experience.It, however, did not turn out this way. While supersonic airplanes are very important in the military, civilian flights are still, to this day, mostly subsonic, taking more than half a day for intercontinental flights.This was due to a combination of factors, from excessive costs to the difficulty of dealing with sonic booms above populated areas. As a result, the last civilian supersonic flight was in 2003.And it might change, as a new company, the aptly named Boom Supersonic , just achieved its first supersonic flight in a test flight. And the orders for the supersonic plane are already piling up before even being commercialized.Supersonic FlyingThe term supersonic means that an object moves quicker than the speed of sound. This results in a phenomenon where the plane flies quicker than the noise it is generating
