The engine stays on the ground. HyperCore drives the vehicle past Mach 5+ with no first-stage booster, opening defense, tunneling, and a scalable path to space.
From the range to the sky. A running reel of General Hypersonics demonstrations, field footage, and where the program goes next.
We took a reusable launch system beyond Mach 4, twice before lunch.
Illustrative
The engine stays on the ground and does the heavy lifting. A small second stage carries the payload the rest of the way to orbit. The platform that makes getting to space routine.
One platform, deployed wherever the mission needs it. Mobile, land, or sea.
Truck-mounted launch for rapid, versatile deployment across any location.
A hardened, prepositioned launch site built for high-tempo global reach.
RigLaunch™ turns an offshore platform into a blue-water launch site.
General Hypersonics is aligned across the armed services and national defense, prime-contractor relationships that signal exactly where this technology is headed.
