The Venus Stargazer™ M4

The Future of Hypersonic Flight

A New Era of Hypersonic Commercial Flight

Stargazer M4 is Earth’s first hypersonic, reusable aircraft. No one has ever built a hypersonic platform that makes two-hour global transport cost-effective. Until now.

Our flagship product, Stargazer™️, will ascend from a central airport using advanced propulsion systems. Leveraging the Venus RDRE Ramjet, our vehicle will accelerate from taxi to cruise speeds of Mach 4 at 110,000 feet with a top speed capable of Mach 9.
