We are developing a revolutionary reusable space launch and hypersonic transport system that operates like an aircraft.
“We are fundamentally redefining human access to space: our spaceplanes will take off and land like aircraft, operate from airports worldwide, and transform spaceflight through rapid reusability, sustainability, and unmatched economic viability. We are building the world’s first airline to space.”
Material selection is a key challenge for reusable hypersonic vehicles.
The development of reusable hypersonic spaceplanes places extraordinary demands on materials and structural design. Structural components must withstand extreme thermal and mechanical loads. Not just once, but over many flights.We are honoured to be working with DLR and FIBRE on this challenge, as part of the EFRE-funded collaborative project HOPAR "Entwicklung von Hochtemperatur-Komposit-Lösungen für die Außenstrukturen". The results of this project directly impact the construction of our supersonic demonstrator NOVA and future commercial vehicles.
The future of aerospace will not only be shaped by advanced propulsion systems, but also by innovative materials and a deeper understanding of their performance under extreme conditions.
