Developing bladeless propulsion technology for advanced air mobility.

• Innovative Propulsion: Jetoptera is pioneering a first-of-its-kind jet propulsion solution using fluidics.
• Extensive Patent Portfolio: The company holds 155 patents with over 100 pending.
• Significant Revenue: Jetoptera has generated over $6.1M in total revenue from commercial and military contracts.
• Prototypes in Development: The company is developing the J-55 UAV and J-500 Cargo VTOL prototypes.
• Experienced Leadership: The leadership team includes experts from GE Aviation, Collins Aerospace, and the US Marine Corps.

Jetoptera is raising funds to accelerate the development of its commercial prototypes, leveraging its innovative Fluidic Propulsion System (FPS) to create a new class of vertical and short take-off and landing (VTOL and STOL) aircraft. The company aims to address the growing demand for safer, more efficient, and faster propulsion systems in the aviation industry. Jetoptera’s bladeless propulsion technology, which relies on turbo compressors and fluidics, eliminates the need for rotors or propellers, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing noise levels. This technology enables aircraft to operate in environments previously inaccessible due to noise and safety concerns, offering new applications for both commercial and military use.

Jetoptera’s FPS technology is designed to be energy agnostic, allowing aircraft to adopt green fuels of the future while also working with current fuel sources. The company’s aircraft are quieter than traditional solutions, making them suitable for urban and rural operations. With a focus on advanced air mobility, Jetoptera is poised to capture a significant share of the $1 trillion market opportunity. The company has already secured multiple patents and military contracts, demonstrating its potential to transform the aviation landscape through innovative propulsion solutions.

Company Info

Jetoptera is developing bladeless propulsion technology for VTOL and STOL aircraft, enhancing efficiency and reducing noise.
