Hermeus is an American aerospace and defense technology startup founded in 2018 and based in Atlanta, Georgia. The company focuses on developing hypersonic aircraft that can fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5. Hermeus aims to revolutionize air travel by significantly reducing long-haul flight times and providing advanced unmanned capabilities for the U.S. government and military. The company offers a range of services, including the design and testing of hypersonic systems, commercial flight test services, and technology derisking in partnership with government agencies. Hermeus has developed several aircraft platforms, such as the Halcyon, a commercial passenger aircraft designed to cut flight times dramatically, and the Darkhorse, an uncrewed aircraft for defense missions. Their proprietary Turbine-Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine technology enables efficient hypersonic flight. Hermeus collaborates with various government organizations, including the Department of Defense and NASA, to enhance national security and advance aviation technologies. With a strong funding background and a vision for the future, Hermeus is set to lead in hypersonic transportation and improve global connectivity.
