Hermeus puts aircraft development into overdrive
Imagine this: an aircraft going from design to test flight in just over a year. Sounds unbelievable, right? Yet, that’s exactly what happened at Edwards Air Force Base. Hermeus, a fast-growing aerospace company from Atlanta, made it happen with their Quarterhorse Mk 1. This was more than just a test flight. It marked a leap forward for investors dreaming about the future of aviation.
One year, one aircraft, a new standard
Most people think of new aircraft as projects that take years to develop. Hermeus turned that idea on its head. They built and flew the Quarterhorse Mk 1 in barely twelve months. AJ Piplica, the CEO of Hermeus, said: “We’ve proven our rapid development works. But this is just the start.”
Ever felt like big companies always move slowly? Not this time. Hermeus proved that speed and innovation can go hand in hand.
What makes Quarterhorse Mk 1 so special?
Usually, takeoff and landing are the simplest parts of a flight. But for this lightning-fast, pilotless drone, those were the real challenges. Everything revolves around speed. Still, the team pulled it off. They gathered data on everything: from flight control to fuel systems. All that knowledge goes straight into building the next version.
Atlanta as the heart of innovation
The next aircraft, Quarterhorse Mk 2, is taking shape in Atlanta. This new model is as large as an F-16 fighter jet. The goal: even faster, safer, and ready for the next big test flight. It’s expected to take to the skies later this year.
If you ever stroll near the Westside BeltLine in Atlanta, just know: that’s where the future of hypersonic flight is being built.
Why does this matter to you as an investor?
Hermeus’s approach—one new aircraft every year—is unique. It creates a constant flow of knowledge and experience within the team. For investors, this means a company that not only grows but learns and improves with each new model. Who didn’t dream as a kid about flying at lightning speed? Hermeus is making that dream a little more real every day.
