Part 7/10:
To facilitate the rapid development of hypersonic aircraft, Hermus makes use of an iterative prototyping process. The quarterhorse Mark 0 prototype, for instance, served to integrate crucial subsystems and refine their operational capabilities—all while developing team expertise in the process.
Investing in talent not typically found in classical aviation, Hermes has drawn from the rocket design sector, where rapid iterations and rigorous testing have long been the norm. The company has focused on assembling a team capable of meeting the fast-paced demands of modern aerospace development.
