Hypersonix Launch Systems has set a late February 2026 launch window for DART AE, the first hypersonic craft powered by a 3D-printed hydrogen scramjet engine. The SPARTAN engine leverages additive manufacturing to integrate complex cooling channels and consolidated structures, enabling Mach 5+ performance without moving parts. Backed by 46 million dollars in funding, this 3.5-meter vehicle proves AM can withstand extreme thermal loads. This shifts aerospace toward rapid, software-defined manufacturing for reusable systems. #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #Hypersonic #3DPrinting
