Presentation Description

Hermeus and Hypersonics - Where Are and Where We're Going

While the long term vision for Hermeus entails transporting passengers at speeds greater than 3300 MPH, one of the greatest challenges is to build a revenue positive company that has the access to capital and the physical and intellectual property means to take on such an endeavor. It is imperative that Hermeus de-risk it's technological roadmap in order to confidently sell into the government - something that few companies have ever done at scale. In the presentation, we look at Hermeus' roadmap and some of the key technical milestones achieved this past year.
