The reusable follow-on, announced as Hypersonix's next platform and funded off the back of the DART AE flight: 6 m, a 50 kg payload, Mach 5 to 10, about 2,500 km, returning to a runway. Reconnaissance rather than launch. No flight date has been published, and these are the company's own figures for an aircraft that has not been built.
