CEO @specteraero, building the future of hypersonic weapons 🚀, 🏊🏻, @MIT visiting scientist. stay tuned for puns, views are my own

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

Over the last few years, we have been working hard @specteraero, quietly building the future of high speed flight. Today, we’re excited to reveal what we’ve been working on: with our advanced propulsion and vehicle technologies we are developing next generation hypersonic systems to connect and protect.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@bscholl Exactly our approach @specteraero although our focus is primarily offensive (although we have the exact same challenges with our offensive munitions)

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@jgatzme @JustAFamilyMan_ Don’t count us out just yet ;)

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

We applaud @DoWCTO’s call for Scalable Hypersonics as part of the @DeptofWar’s critical technology areas. This is exactly what we have been building at @specteraero and is crucial to delivering deference at scale.

[Department of War CTO @DoWCTO]

The @DeptofWar’s New Critical Technology Areas:

🤖 Applied Artificial Intelligence

⚛️ Quantum & Battlefield Information Dominance

🧬 Biomanufacturing

🚛 Contested Logistics Technologies

⚡ Scaled Directed Energy

🚀 Scaled Hypersonics

Technological dominance loading…

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@cwamidon This is definitely a worrying trend and when all of the programs of record that were promised in 12 months never materialize, we will shift to the downward slope of the hype cycle

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

This is the team building the next generation of hypersonic missiles (and having a lot of fun while doing it) 🚀@specteraero

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@dansgoldin @AtlanticCouncil @ACScowcroft @AJ_Piplica Thanks as always for the support @dansgoldin (and happy belated birthday!)

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

I was glad to join the my colleagues on the @AtlanticCouncil’s Hypersonic Capabilities Task Force meeting in DC this week for a productive discussion on comprehensive strategy to reestablish American dominance in this critical technology area.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@bscholl You could call the frequent flier program the breakfast club!

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@rubenhassid In fairness, same could be said for many people as well.

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

Construyamos con el Espíritu Santo una Iglesia fundada en el amor de Dios y signo de unidad, una Iglesia misionera, que abre los brazos al mundo, que anuncia la Palabra, que se deja cuestionar por la historia, y que se convierte en fermento de concordia para la humanidad.

@GaruthAcharya This is incredible

White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@mttgrmm I am continuously amazed it doesn’t work like this. I somewhat hope the databases are linked so that they don’t do a separate precheck investigation but I doubt it.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

Sent it! Good flight test thanks to the dedication of the @specteraero team. We proved out key high speed weapon subsystems on our low cost flight test vehicle.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

Absolutely horrifying to see a midair which comes after many recent close calls. I fly out of DCA several times a month so this hits close to home. Prayers for all involved.

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

The FAA confirms tonight’s collision near DCA involved #AA5342 and a US military H60. The helicopter was not broadcasting ADS-B data. The last received ADS-B position from the CRJ was at 01:48 UTC.

AA5342 was en route from Wichita to Washington (DCA) and was on final approach for Runway 33 at an approximate altitude of 300 feet AMSL. https://t.co/CSqWFTglMy

@Zsshore @SpaceNews_Inc The amount of outlets that miss these details consistently is incredible

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@hesspresso_ and deliver new technologies at scale, finding support from the DoD without needing to rely on some tangential commercial application to fulfill an investment thesis or pay the bills.

[Felipe Gómez del C @fgdelc]

@hesspresso_ but many DoD requirements are exquisite and for justifiable reasons (mostly.) As an example, there is no commercial use case for munitions but they are critically important. A healthy defense industrial base is one where non-traditional companies can bring innovative solutions…
