A New Approach to Hypersonic Transportation

There's a private race to deep space.

Most new space companies are focused on reaching the stars – launching global WiFi, putting tourists in space, gas stations on the moon, and colonizing Mars.

We’ve got our sights set right here on earth, where travel is still well, light years behind space ambitions.

How much would you pay to get to the other side of the world in comfort in an hour?

No one has ever built an engine that makes one-hour global transport cost-effective.

Until now.

Sassie Duggleby, MBA

CEO

Engineer and serial deep tech entrepreneur with multiple exits. Mission Management and Launch Systems Engineer. Passionate about women in tech. Avid lover of outdoor activities (want to surf, camp, hike, backpack, fish, ski…she’s in!). Named herself Sassie at 2 and it stuck.

Rocket Engine Injector & Heat Transfer Wizard, 3D Design, and Test Systems. From theory to turning wrenches, she’s done it all. Will beat you in any race – don’t challenge her, it’s not worth it.

Eric Wernimont, PhD

Sr Principal Propulsion Engineer

Propulsion and energetics materials expert with 30 years experience, from solids to hypergols to liquids, and the program mgmt to actually get it done. Don’t ask him about squirrels…

Josh Camp, PhD, MBA

Principal Aerodynamics & DevOps

Big Data Management, Computation Fluids, Program Mgmt, product lifecycle management. Has a PhD, MBA, does Crossfit, former oil field guy, and joined a startup – we think he’s a glutton for punishment?!?

Mike Martell

It's time for takeoff.
