Hermeus F100 Engine Testing [4K]

This is absolutely insane how much thrust does it produce?

Holy ...! Did the building move to the next county?

These colors don't run!

That's hot.

Your future goal engine will allow for easier and/or cheaper space access?

Wow

good.

Are there any similarities between this precooler tech and the british Skylon/SABRE precooler tech? (That Darpa tested several years ago)

I'll be in my bunk....

And THIS is why Hermeus is better than Skunkworks. Iron bird to it’s functional engine in 3 months…

Edit: i forgot they just reworked an old engine

This is why the Whiplash is good

It would be nice if you put some metrics on screen

what’s the precooler composition? trust me, i won’t tell 😏

Numbers

Will it fit in a miata?

Did anyone else read/watch this and think... I saw this movie... And heard the Darkstar theme from Top Gun Maverick? :) Thanks for sharing!

I like it, where can I buy one

One of the few compnies that actually seem to deliever what they claim

Can you add live metrics please?

Which F100 variant is this, -229 / -220? As a former Eagle Keeper, the sweet satisfaction knowing the beating heart of the airborne beast is breaking new ground is a truly beautiful thing.

mommy?

Admit it guys and girls at Hermeus, you have secretly been inspired by the 1994 movie Stargate!

Why else would you build a portal like that?

No ramjet transition? 😢

Im 50. I saw the Eastern and PaAm tails disappear from MIA while i was at poweplant tech school. Did not go into the career.
Now THIS!!!!!!! I FARCKING LOVE IT! even turned lights off. Sweet.
The future is awesome if we get our shit together.

Ooh baby! Take me to the top of the world.

someone needs to go paint an apostrophe between the N and T in "DONT" under the flag

Is the F100 just a test mule for your precooler, or will your final engine be a variant of the F100?

It would be great to have a narrative explaining why this test is important; otherwise it looks like a vanilla maintenance run of an F-100.

damn that looks so awesome

More testing

Powerful

I'm jealous, you guys are playing with the best toys.

not gonna lie, that gave me half a chubby.

Sweet

That video gave me a man-gasm!

My Anus in the morning after eating spicy food previous night

Hell yeah !

Doesn't the filter mesh hinder its breathing?

What will the passenger experience be when this thing pitches or yaws in flight? If Hermeus must slow down before maneuvering to save passenger lives, how long will a comfortable deceleration take, and therefore what part of its flight profile will actually be hypersonic? Why will Hermeus be economically viable with fewer passengers and payload when Concord, when Concord could carry more passengers and payload ?

So awesome

Chimera with diamonds, a beautiful thing. Reminds me of the P&W J58s which currently hold the record you are looking to break. Best of luck to you guys and gals, lets see what Quarterhorse and Darkhorse can do!!!

I thought Hermeus was using a newer version of the J85? Perhaps that was MK.1 and Mk.2 is switching to the F100? Either way, I am excited to see progress! Lets get a test-flight livestream in the books! ;)

Nice, no stall when bringing back the power..

The F100 is the same engine that powers the Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons used by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. It also powered the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle and F-15E Strike Eagle. A proven engine in every sense.

This is why America number one in the world at everything

Thats a spicey vacuum cleaner from idle around the horn nice

Goosebumps

Keep up the good work....
😎🇦🇺👍

Need one for the neighbors

Holy CRAP!!! Depending on where that's aimed, you're causing our planet to spin FASTER, or SLOWER!!!
