Today @hermeuscorp is announcing a $350M Series C financing led by @khoslaventures, bringing our valuation to $1B. Everything we do is with one goal in mind: build the fastest unmanned aircraft in the world for the American warfighter. To our investors, thank you for your faith and trust in us. To our team, you continue to amaze me with your ingenuity, commitment, and fire for tackling some of the hardest and most meaningful problems in aerospace. To those who want to build the fastest aircraft in the world - we’re hiring. This is a return to the roots of American innovation. More from me here: hermeus.com/newsroom-conte…
"The only major system designed in the last 15 years that has been used in combat [Operation Epic Fury] is LUCAS — which we had to reverse engineer!" @PeteModi Many of these old platforms have had glow ups in recent years, but still - it's very bad that we don't design and deploy new systems regularly Hard hitting graphic from Defense Tech and Acquisition Substack
ICYMI: Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 is airborne. Nine months after flying our last aircraft, we already built and flew another — proving how fast this team can build, test, and fly high-speed aircraft. The work has just begun. With first flight complete, the campaign continues toward supersonic. Stay tuned.
Three vehicles, each one larger and more capable than the last. Mk 0 proved the design-build-test approach, Mk 1 flew, and Mk 2.1 expands the flight envelope even further. When we talk about iterative development, we actually mean it. We’ve already made three iterations in three years — and somehow our team moves even faster with each build.

Planes don’t build themselves. Here’s a sneak peek at an upcoming series spotlighting the people on the ground at @Spaceport_NM preparing Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 for flight. Meet Joe, Marlin, Peter, Marcus, Amber, 8-Ball, and Michael. There are many hands involved in bringing an aircraft like this to life – here are just a few of the main characters making it happen. More to come.
