We design and build sovereign hypersonic deep-strike capability — in Europe, for Europe and its allies.

Hypersonica is a new kind of defence company. Our missile prototype passed Mach 6 in February 2026.

Who we are

We believe strongly in European values and our way of life. We also believe that the only response to threats to our democracies is strength.

Advantages Three columns with full-height rules. Defaults to the blue ground.

Sovereign by design

Built in Europe

Designed, built and tested in Europe, with no dependency on export licences held elsewhere.

Proven in flight

Blank sheet to launchpad in nine months, and past Mach 6 on the first flight.

Priced to field

A capability that can be held in numbers rather than in a display case.

Cards Few and large. Mark at the top, copy pinned to the bottom; count is settable.

Pillars of our approach

High-fidelity simulation software

Our simulation backbone enables an industry-leading development pace, high output quality and rapid optimisation across the design space.

Top-tier talent

Small, talent-dense teams with real autonomy, and the room to get an idea out of the meeting room and into the air.

Quotes A row of quote cards that scrolls sideways. Always cut off at the right edge.
