This order is even an announcement for space travel: The Bremen startup Polaris is to develop a hypersonic research aircraft for the Bundeswehr – two-stage, completely reusable, new technological territory. The client is the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr (BAAINBw). The system is scheduled to take off as early as the end of 2027. Where does the startup Polaris come from? And who is Alexander Kopp, the man behind the project? We met him.
