Ursa Major's Draper Engine Enables Rapid Hypersonic Capability

The Air Force’s Affordable Rapid Missile Demonstrator (ARMD) program has achieved its first flight in under a year, thanks to Ursa Major’s Draper storable liquid engine. The program was designed to demonstrate affordable hypersonic capability and has successfully demonstrated the feasibility of storable liquid propulsion systems in hypersonic flight. The ARMD program is the first to integrate a storable liquid propulsion system into a hypersonic vehicle, and its success may pave the way for future hypersonic programs.
