The Quarterhorse Mk 1 is scheduled to fly later this year to test its high-speed takeoffs and landings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Mk 1 is the latest Mk 0 prototype from the company, which conducted its first runway tests last November.<\/strong> To illustrate the approach that Hermeus is taking in the creation of hypersonic aircraft, each of the four prototypes under development is primarily intended to test a main phase of flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Are Hermeus\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F5k_IG-_pvc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A first prototype that doesn&#8217;t even reach Mach 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mk 1 of this year will not be hypersonic because it is not remotely capable of such a thing. It is not surprising, because, <strong>although it can fly and has the profile of a hypersonic glider vehicle, it is powered by a lightweight GE J85 jet engine <\/strong>that can only generate 3,500 lb of thrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that when the unmanned Mk 1 begins its tests at the Edwards Air Force Base in California, its job will be to <strong>see how the Quarterhorse design can withstand high-speed takeoffs and landings<\/strong>. It will also test its subsystems, ground station, operations, and human factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When all of this is done, <strong>Mk 2 will be ready to test supersonic technology at speeds up to Mach 3<\/strong> using the Pratt &amp; Whitney F100 engine.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div
