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 cut down travel times for airlines and government agencies interested in high-speed transportation. The aircraft operates using a hypersonic engine powered by the Pratt & Whitney F100 turbine, which has already undergone successful testing. Unlike its competitors, Hermeus focuses specifically on hypersonic travel, setting it apart in the aerospace industry. The company's goal is to create and sell these high-speed aircraft, and it has recently demonstrated strong investor confidence by raising $100 million in funding.
