Destinus’ ultimate goal is to bring a hypersonic passenger vehicle to market. Riccardo Bunt, a flight dynamics engineer at Destinus, explains: “Instead of going from zero to a full product in one cycle, we’ve taken an incremental approach to their development”.

“As a startup with many ideas, there’s no clear path to follow. Defining a roadmap was key for us. We took a step-by-step approach and defined those phases.” Riccardo further expands that the roadmap doesn’t just include unmanned prototypes, followed by a passenger aircraft, but also requires developing the technology at each stage.
