Hermeus: Building a Faster Future
Startup Exchange invited founder and CEO, A.J. Piplica to discuss the journey of his startup, Hermeus.
Piplica and his team are working to build a Mach 5 aircraft that will be capable of a range of 4,600 miles at a cruising speed of 3,300 miles per hour. That means traveling from New York to London in on 90 minutes.
“Today, digital communication is almost completely ubiquitous across the planet, but being face-to-face is still important to business. And so is time. So when we look at business on a global scale, we see that there’s a market for increasing the speed of transportation between the world’s major cities. It’s the speed of business. Our first long-term goal is to cross the Atlantic in 90 minutes, but there are a lot of other things we see coming from that.”
