Fireside Chat: The Future of Hypersonics & Space Travel

Featuring:

🔥 Dr. Robert Statica, Founder & CEO, HYPERIAN AEROSPACE 🔥 Ken Jackson, SVP of Marketing, HYPERIAN AEROSPACE

Ken Jackson (KJ):

Dr. Statica, you have an incredible track record of innovation, including leading the team that built Wickr, the world’s most secure communications platform, which was later acquired by Amazon in 2021. What drove you to transition from cybersecurity to aerospace and hypersonic technology?

Dr. Robert Statica (RS):

Security and aerospace are more connected than people realize. But for me, this goes way back. I’ve been fascinated with flight since childhood. I've always dreamed of flying at hypersonic speeds, where you can get on a plane and be anywhere on Earth in under 1.5 hours. That idea was always considered science fiction—until now.

We’re now building the world's most advanced hypersonic and space technologies—not just for travel, but also for defense, cargo distribution, and even interstellar exploration

KJ: HYPERIAN AEROSPACE has an ambitious lineup of products. Let’s break them down, starting with the Mach 10 HYPERLINER.

RS: Absolutely. The HYPERLINER is a game-changer in commercial aviation. It’s a Mach 10 passenger aircraft that will allow travelers to fly anywhere on Earth in under 90 minutes. Imagine taking off from New York and landing in London in 27 minutes or Dubai in under an hour.

This isn’t just about speed—it’s about transforming global travel. Long-haul flights are exhausting, inefficient, and outdated. The HYPERLINER changes that, making long-distance flights feel like quick commutes.

KJ: And for defense, you’re developing the BLACKSTAR fighter jet and the NYX Hypersonic Missile Defense Platform. What makes them revolutionary?

RS: The BLACKSTAR is the first Mach 10 fighter jet ever designed. It will dominate the battlefield by being faster, more maneuverable, and capable of hypersonic engagements.

But speed alone isn’t enough—we’ve also equipped BLACKSTAR with hypersonic HM1 missiles, directed energy weapons, and AI-driven combat systems, making it the most advanced next-gen air superiority fighter.

The NYX Hypersonic Missile Defense Platform is designed to neutralize hypersonic missiles, drone swarms, ICBMs, and stealth aircraft. Unlike outdated systems, NYX uses AI-driven tracking, directed energy weapons, and Mach 15-25 hypersonic interceptors to eliminate threats before they reach their target.

It’s a leap forward in global security. The U.S. and its allies can’t rely on 30-year-old missile defense technology to stop modern threats. That’s why NYX is the most advanced missile defense platform in the world.

KJ: HYPERIAN AEROSPACE is also tackling urban and military mobility with the SKYLIFT VTOL. What problem is it solving?

RS: The SKYLIFT VTOL is the world’s most versatile vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. It’s designed for:

✔ Urban air mobility—50-passenger airport shuttles and regional flights.

✔ Cargo delivery—10-ton payloads anywhere, no runways required.

✔ Medical and special operations—rapid emergency response and military deployment.

With hydrogen-based propulsion and zero emissions, it’s a sustainable solution for cities and industries that need fast, runway-free transportation.

KJ: Alright, let’s talk about space travel. HYPERIAN AEROSPACE is working on something truly groundbreaking: the STARFIRE Antimatter Engine.

RS: This is the future. STARFIRE is the first antimatter-based propulsion system under development. Traditional rockets take months or years to reach the outer Solar System. With STARFIRE, we could send a spacecraft to:

🚀 Mars in under 30 days

🚀 Jupiter in 60 days

🚀 The Oort Cloud in under 5 years

This technology will revolutionize interstellar travel, making missions that once took centuries possible within a single human lifetime.

We are now developing the digital twin and design engineering models for STARFIRE. The next step is building the world’s first antimatter propulsion testbed.

KJ: Let’s talk global impact. If these products become reality, how does the world change?

RS:The impact is massive across multiple industries:

🌍 Global Travel & Trade – The HYPERLINER reduces travel time to minutes instead of hours, transforming the airline industry.

🛰 Defense & Security – NYX provides unmatched missile defense, keeping the world safer from hypersonic and nuclear threats.

🚛 Cargo Distribution – SKYLIFT makes fast, flexible logistics possible anywhere on Earth, even in war zones and disaster areas.

🚀 Space Colonization – The STARFIRE Antimatter Engine makes it possible to expand human civilization into the Solar System.

This is not just a company—it’s a revolution in aerospace, defense, and interstellar tra

KJ: Finally, what’s next for HYPERIAN AEROSPACE?

RS: We’re currently self-funded and looking for the right strategic partners to build our production facilities and bring these technologies to market.

Our mission is clear: to revolutionize travel, security, and space exploration. The future of hypersonics and interstellar propulsion starts now, and we are leading the way.

KJ: Dr. Statica, thank you for sharing your vision. This is the future of aerospace and defense, and I’m honored to be part of this journey.

🔥 HYPERIAN AEROSPACE is here to change the world.
