Technology & Products
Key Products
["Spartan Scramjet Engine: A hydrogen-fueled, fixed-geometry engine manufactured via 3D printing.","DART AE: A 3-meter long, 3D-printed hypersonic technology demonstrator for high-speed flight testing.","VISER: A hypersonic UAV designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.","Delta-Velos: A reusable hypersonic transport system designed for satellite launch and high-speed cargo."]
Technological Advantage
The 'Spartan' engine features a fixed-geometry design with no moving parts, increasing reliability at extreme speeds. Their 3D-printing approach reduces production time from months to weeks and significantly lowers costs compared to traditional hypersonic programs.
