HERMEUS COO: HYPERSONIC AIRCRAFT CAN HELP THE US MILITARY OVERCOME THE ‘TYRANNY OF DISTANCE’
Alex Hollings | March 17, 2022

Atlanta-based aviation firm Hermeus has been working toward the development of the worlds’ first crewed reusable hypersonic passenger aircraft, and as you might imagine, a cost-effective Mach 5 jet could have far-reaching implications in the defense sector.

While today’s news may be dominated by discussions about hypersonic weapons, faster aircraft could allow the US military to cover greater distances in less time, which could be incredibly valuable for overcoming the dreaded tyranny of distance.

And reach hypersonic speeds (at least in Biden's world) of upwards of 300 mph.
