Hermeus opted to pursue hypersonics, rather than supersonics, in part because the U.S. military is more interested in the faster speeds.

Hypersonic technology developer Hermeus opted to move into the faster realm instead of supersonic, in part, because of military support applications. Supersonic aircraft do not have the same support, according to a report from analyst Jefferies.
