Hermeus unveils Ramjet-X high-Mach test vehicle to fly on Quarterhorse
Image: Primary Hermeus has unveiled plans for Ramjet-X, a high-Mach test vehicle designed to be carried aloft by a supersonic variant of its Quarterhorse aircraft and released at ignition speeds.
The company says Ramjet-X will offer a "Flight Test as a Service" platform letting commercial and government clients test sensors, communications systems, high-temperature materials, autonomy software, and propulsion under sustained high-Mach conditions without building their own test vehicles. Engine testing is underway at Hermeus's HEAT facility in Jacksonville, Florida, with high-temperature structure work in El Segundo, California. Flight testing is slated for 2027.
