Developing the tech for the fastest airplanes in the world is obviously hard, but that's not where it ends. We must also align the capital and business roadmap with our technical roadmap.
This funding enables @hermeuscorp to achieve a necessary first step in accelerating the future: flight testing of our first aircraft Quarterhorse, powered by our TBCC engine Chimera.
We'll be flying dozens of sorties, with multiple tails; iteratively rolling in learning into the engineering, integration, manufacturing, flight controls, operations, etc.
The story doesn't end with funding. The next few years at @hermeuscorp may be the most difficult in our careers. But massively accelerating flight is a worthy endeavor. If you're ready to alter the course of global communication and logistics, join us: hermeus.com/careers

No one wants to crash, but doing so at the edge of the design envelope, safely, is the right place to do it.

Every modern aviation startup should take this approach to RnD: 🧵

1. Design to be remotely piloted. Why would we risk human life when we don't need to anymore?
2. Be hardware rich. Expanding the envelope requires pushing into uncertainty, and having backup parts / airframes / at-bats keeps programs moving forward quickly when uncertainties stack against you.
