HELLO-1X
Technology demonstrator vehicle
Description
The HELLO-1X is a piloted/optionally autonomous hypersonic demonstrator vehicle designed to cruise at a speed of Mach 5 and utilize liquid multi-fuel combustion. This aircraft is designed to take-off from a runway, climb to an altitude between 28 - 32 km, cruise at Mach 5, and glide return back to base. The vehicle will test our technologies at scale and ultimately lead the way for the development of HELLO-1 and HELLO-2.

DASS GNX
Turbo-Ramjet cycle engine
Description
The DASS GNX is a precooled, air-breathing, turbo-ramjet designed to meet the demands of hypersonic flight and will ultimately become the heart of both the HELLO-1 and HELLO-2 flight vehicles. Operating as an afterburning turbojet from zero to Mach 3 and a ramjet from Mach 3 to Mach 5, the DASS GNX can perform in a far wider range of conditions than either a turbojet or ramjet alone. The DASS GNX also features a precooler designed to significantly enhance thrust in turbojet mode and extend the operating range of the engine.
