Live from Spaceport: The Road to First Flight

The Hermeus Podcast is BACK with a special Spaceport Edition, filmed outside the hangar at Spaceport America in New Mexico. In the middle of our ground testing campaign for Quarterhorse Mk 2.1, AJ Piplica and Zach Shore sit down with members of the crew team to reflect on the road to first flight, what’s changed since the company's last flight, and what it takes to bring a high-speed aircraft from concept to flight line — in less than a year. Joined by Mike Gilliland, Marcus Spanolios, and Andrew Neal, the team shares an inside look at the rigor, complexity, and teamwork required to build, test and ultimately fly a high-Mach aircraft.
