Jetoptera

This week, our team was represented in San Diego at the 12th International Conference on High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites (HTCMC), one of the most prestigious gatherings in advanced materials science. 🏅

Yesterday, our collaborator Walter Pritzkow presented our joint work with his company, Walter E.C. Pritzkow Spezialkeramik. Their Keramikblech technology is a proprietary Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite (OCMC) central to how the Fluidic Propulsive System® (FPS®) performs when supplied hot primary gases conditions.

In this application the FPS® runs on exhaust gas reaching up to 800°C. At those temperatures, conventional, metallic materials are too heavy to be competitive. OCMC, at just 2.8 g/cm³ with wall thicknesses under 2mm, gives us the weight and thermal tolerance Pegasus needs to meet the DARPA Lift Challenge's demanding payload requirements.

Only two OEMs in the world have successfully introduced ceramic matrix composites into aviation: GE Aerospace in the United States and Safran in France. Jetoptera is on the same path, with ceramic thrusters already flying on multiple test platforms since 2017. 🔬

Our investor webinar recording is now available. 🎥

We had a great turnout and we’re so grateful for the continued support of our community.

We covered a lot of ground, including:
How FPS®️ works and why our thrust augmentation data puts us ahead
Why FPS aircraft sound like wind, not machinery
A direct performance comparison of FPS vs. hybrid electric
DARPA Pegasus update from the field in Germany
Live Q&A covering exit strategy, J-2000 development, and what comes after DARPA

The Q&A is particularly worth a listen. We addressed top investor questions including liquidity options, the J-2000 timeline, and the path to Part 108 cargo certification.
