The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe · 497: Ethan Thornton—I Like a Lotta Problems · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

This was basically the ground-based demonstrator.

Now one could go build other aircraft that look quite similar that I think will be very interesting.

But right now the key focus is on the long range missile portion.

Interesting.

Is that all of them?

There's two more.

All right, let's see.

Yeah, and this is the, like, everything all at once article actually being super fair.

Yeah.

But we have stuff to do.

And the programs are going well.

We're on time.

We're on budget.

So this is Dart.

Now, Dart is my best answer, and I don't think it's a perfect answer, but my best answer to shooting down things like Glide and Viper.

And so Dart will come out about six months after those products because I expect our adversaries to copy those products and hopefully look to counter the copies that emerge.

So this is as cheap as you can possibly make a missile that can still intercept things that are as sophisticated as Viper and Glide.

Yes.

So we have a few factories.

We have Vehicle Factory in Huntington, and then we make our jet engines in San Luis Obispo.
