WE ARE HERMEUS

OUR VISION

Hermeus is a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate aviation. In the near-term, the business is focused on building high-speed products that sustainably deliver asymmetric advantage to the Department of Defense and allied partners. Utilizing an iterative development approach to aircraft, Hermeus’ high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft aim to deliver capabilities at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s.

OUR CUSTOMERS

In addition to our commercial vision, Hermeus is working with the Air Force and other government organizations to develop uncrewed, high-speed aircraft for defense and national security missions. Hypersonic aircraft represent a major step change in defense technology, offering unprecedented speed, altitude, and maneuverability.

OUR TEAM

Hermeus has more than 200 employees across four different locations in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Jacksonville, FL. The team is composed of world-class talent, including experts from startups, leading airplane manufacturers, top defense contractors, and the U.S. military.

Quarterhorse Mk 1 is just the start. Now we’re going supersonic—and that’s where you come in. At Hermeus, our culture of ownership means you shepherd your systems from design, through test, and into the vehicle. Own it. Apply now a
Airborne! Last week, Quarterhorse Mk 1 took off from Edwards AFB, achieved stable flight and landed smoothly. Mk 1's flight validated our rapid, iterative approach to airplane development and advanced our mission to radically accelerate aviation. R
The team is conducting high-speed wind tunnel tests, pushing our Quarterhorse Mk 2 model from Mach 0.6 to Mach 3 — the core of our flight envelope. Testing under these supersonic conditions is validating our analytical predictions and assemblin
