The Swiss Startup destiny developed a hypersonic airplane (above Mach 5 speed) powered by hydrogen, without any carbon emissions, capable of reaching speeds above sound: 18,522 km/h (Mach 15). The model uses airplane, rocket and glider characteristics and has the potential to deliver anywhere on the planet between 6 and 12 hours.
According to the website Flight Global, the company founded by Russian expatriate Mikhail Kokorich received a contribution of US$ 29 million to develop a new model, capable of delivering tens of tons anywhere in the world in less than two hours.

The hyperplane already in operation uses an air rocket engine and, in a second moment, uses a cryogenic engine, used in hydrogen-based space rockets. This makes the model fly to heights of more than 50 km. On descent, Destinus enters glider mode until it lands horizontally.
Destinus also has costs comparable to conventional cargo flights and even lower, Kokorich told the Drone Talks YouTube channel. The explanation for this is that the hyperplane travels at greater heights, with less air friction and loss of gravity.
The company predicts that the first intercontinental commercial flight, with cargo of up to one ton, will take place in 2025. Flights with cargo of up to 100 tons are projected to be carried out in 2029.
