Hypersonix Launch Systems

The company's core technology is the SPARTAN scramjet engine, a 3D-printed, hydrogen-powered system with no moving parts. This design allows it to be reusable, self-igniting, and capable of operating between Mach 5 and Mach 12. By using atmospheric air as an oxidizer and green hydrogen as fuel, the engine produces only water vapor as exhaust, positioning it as a sustainable alternative to traditional rocket propulsion. Hypersonix is developing a portfolio of hypersonic vehicles, including the DART AE technology demonstrator, the VISR reusable multi-mission flyer, and the Delta Velos launch system for delivering small satellites to orbit. These platforms are designed for applications in satellite deployment, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and hypersonic technology testing.

Hypersonix serves both commercial and government clients, with a significant focus on the defense sector. The firm secured a notable contract with the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop a high-speed test aircraft under the HyCAT program. The business model has transitioned from reliance on government grants to securing institutional investment. In August 2025, the company closed a Series A funding round with participation from strategic investors including High Tor Capital, Saab Ventures, and RKKVC, which will support its expansion, including U.S. trials and the build-out of manufacturing capabilities in Queensland.
