The Peak DailySupersonic 🛩 — Canada adds a bunch of jobs. The NHL signs their first sports betting deal. And a supersonic aircraft company raises big money.Canada’s economy added 337,000 new jobs in February—blowing past analyst expectations and driving the unemployment rate down to its pre-COVID 19 levels for the first time. Canada’s legalization of single-game sports betting back in August has opened the door for the NHL to sign its first-ever sports betting partner in Canada: sportsbook ProLine+. Hermeus raises $100 million in search of the future of aviation.

ClixTecnología y velocidadUn avión hipersónico capaz de alcanzar Mach 5 (más de 4.800 km/h), el equivalente a 5 veces la velocidad del sonido. Eso llevaría a este avión de Nueva York a Londres en solo 90 minutos. ¿Es posible? Hermeus, una startup con sede en Atlanta, cuyo objetivo es desarrollar aviones hipersónicos, cree que sí. Además, la compañía española Zeleros Hyperloop propone una alternativa de transporte masivo, reduciendo los tiempos de viaje y sin contaminar el medio ambiente.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad2021-10-2421 min
Acquisition TalkMach 5 aircraft and deep tech contracting with Hermeus CEO AJ PiplicaAJ Piplica joined me on the Acquisition Talk podcast to discuss transportation at hypersonic speeds. He is the founder and CEO of Hermeus, which is developing the Quarterhorse aircraft intended to fly at five times the speed of sound. It uses a turbine-based combined cycle engine which uses the off-the-shelf J-85 jet engine from GE. When the J-85 accelerates to supersonic speeds, a proprietary ram-jet kicks in that uses the aircraft's forward motion to compress air, combust it with fuel, and accelerate to even higher speeds.
Hermeus has already shown that a lesser gas turbine engine designed to fly at...2021-09-291h 03
