Jetoptera

Jetoptera was nominated for the 2024 Innovation Award at the Advanced Air Mobility Expo! Our CTO and Co-Founder, Andrei Evulet will also be one of the speakers at this DroneX Trade Show and Conference and he will cover our significant progress we’ve made on the J-500 cargo UAV propulsor development. Come learn about these advancements in FPS™ and don’t forget to stop by our booth while visiting to learn more about our advanced propulsion technology!

Exciting DARPA win for Freedom Flight Works and Jetoptera!

Jetoptera's 2024 interns, Alexandra Surprise (UW '24) and Abigail George (UW '25) have already started their contribution to the development of the pneumatic system of the FPS for the J-500 cargo drone. One unique feature of the airplane propulsion system is the ultralight air distribution system, which delivers compressed air produced by the turbocompressor to the front and aft thrusters. Unique valves and instrumentation have been successfully tested at representative conditions and significant data acquired. All our interns gain a unique experience by working on our unique propulsion system! Eanan University of Washington UW Aeronautical Laboratory

University of Washington rocks!

We are flying in the skies of the U.A.E.! Eanan and Jetoptera have kicked off the flight test campaign of a subscale, eVTOL aircraft which is a flight test bed for the autopilot of the J-500 VTOL cargo UAV we are co-developing. The campaign was initiated at the X-Range test field near Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. The vehicle is operated in automated mode, including VTOL, hover, transitions, and forward flight. The data collected from the flights will be used to inform the J-500 avionics developed by Eanan utilizing the Embention Veronte autopilot as adapted to the unique controls of Jetoptera’s J-series aircraft. Stay tuned, more awesome videos coming up!

We are excited to share the news that Jetoptera and EANAN Al Samma have kicked off the flight test campaign of a subscale aircraft as part of the J-500 co-development program.

Our CEO is the first confirmed speaker at the 2024 Engine Forum Kobe. Andrei will cover the fuel agnostic Fluidic Propulsive System that relies on reliable, proved turbine technology that can be powered by jet fuel, SAF, or hydrogen, bridging the gap between current and future fuels, while propulsion battery technology continues to evolve. https://lnkd.in/gt6Ti8sF

We’re featured in “Where is my flying car?”! eVTOL has been a hot topic in the aviation sector, and we’ve discussed battery limitations extensively. “Where is my flying car?”, a newsletter by Jonathan Dockrell with 14K subscribers, asks “What if eVTOL is Betamax to VHS, if that were the case what’s the VHS flying car version in the cautionary tale? Is the sunk cost fallacy holding us back again?”  The newsletter features Jetoptera’s technology as a solution with “no blades and no battery” that can “can operate like a helicopter but without the noise. They can operate like an eVTOL but without the electric battery”  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gVPvqV5R Jonathan D.
