Hypersonix Launch Systems is a leading Australian aerospace engineering, design, and manufacturing company at the forefront of hypersonic technology and scramjet engine development. The company is dedicated to revolutionizing the global aerospace sector by applying 'New Space' best practices to create sustainable and reusable hypersonic systems. Its core mission is to disrupt the future of atmospheric flight and space access, providing aircraft-like capabilities for satellite launches and high-speed travel while respecting the Earth's atmosphere. A key differentiator for Hypersonix is its commitment to green technology, specifically through the use of its SPARTAN scramjet engine, which is powered by sustainable green hydrogen. This innovative engine design results in zero CO2 emissions, producing only water vapor as exhaust, which positions the company as a leader in environmentally responsible aerospace solutions.
The company's portfolio includes the development of hypersonic flight test platforms, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) vehicles, and air-breathing access-to-space launch systems. One of its notable projects is the DART AE, a 3D-printed, reusable, multi-mission hypersonic test vehicle capable of reaching Mach 7. This platform is designed for various applications, including testing defense capabilities and carrying payloads for research at hypersonic speeds. Hypersonix leverages advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing with high-temperature alloys and composites, to produce its fixed-geometry scramjet engines, which have no moving parts, enhancing reliability and scalability. The company collaborates with a range of partners, including technology firms, research institutions, and launch service providers, to integrate best-of-breed technologies into its systems. Through these innovations, Hypersonix aims to make access to space more affordable, flexible, and sustainable.
