Hermeus was established in 2018 with the lofty goal of fielding hypersonic aircraft for the commercial sector that could eventually even ferry passengers across the Pacific Ocean in as little as 90 minutes. This goal, while certainly ambitious, isn’t necessarily unique in itself — there have been lots of high-speed aircraft programs over the years.

What makes Hermeus special isn’t that they’re reaching for the stars… but rather, how firmly they’re keeping their feet planted on the ground as they do. Their pragmatic approach to hypersonic flight has caught the U.S. Air Force's attention... and if they're successful, the world will be next.
