Germany's BAAINBw has commissioned Bremen-based POLARIS Raumflugzeuge to build HYTEV, a two-stage, horizontally launched, fully reusable hypersonic research aircraft in fighter-jet size. The concept, developed in 2024–25, targets flight readiness by late 2027.
HYTEV's main stage runs two turbofans with an Aerospike rocket; the upper stage is rocket-powered. It can lift up to about 1,000 kg to space and may also serve as a small-satellite carrier or reconnaissance platform in and beyond the atmosphere, at Mach 5+.
