Jetoptera

We recently sent our Q1 2026 Report to investors, and wanted to share a few of the highlights with our Linkedin community:

The J-500 cargo UAS has been fully transferred to our partner Eanan Al Samma in Dubai. In February, we fired the 250 kW Free Turbine Compressor for the first time in full configuration — a purpose-built turbocompressor designed to supply primary air to our Fluidic Propulsive System®. No one has done this before. Maiden flight is targeted for Q3/Q4 this year. 🛩️

We also entered the DARPA Lift Challenge, competing with Pegasus: an FPS®-powered prototype built to carry at least 110 lbs of payload while weighing under 55 lbs. We will announce the results of our submission soon. 🏆

Our IP portfolio now stands at 189 granted patents, including our latest on a recuperated gas turbine cycle that can cut fuel consumption by up to 30%.

Here's to the future of flight. ✈️

Jetoptera's Wefunder campaign is nearly sold out with more than 800 investors now in the round. 🎉

Over the past few weeks we've shared updates on our current progress, from the Fluidic Propulsive System®️ to our DARPA Challenge aircraft. That progress is reflected in the funds raised: Jetoptera is the #1 most raised RegCF campaign on Wefunder and #4 across all platforms according to Kingscrowd.

Here is what a few of our recent investors have said:

"Retired avionics engineer. See a lot of potential in this engine design. Great team of people." — Gary Cruz

"Extending my original investment because I believe in the concept, the technology and the people." — James Thornton

"I'm excited about Jetoptera because of its unique quiet technology, defence partnerships, and strong intellectual property." — Gavin Woodworth

There is very limited space left to invest. If you've been thinking of investing or increasing your position, now is the time. See the link in the comments. 🔗
