Jetoptera’s Fluidic Propulsive System™: Bladeless, quieter, 2-3x faster than a helicopter and 2-3x thrust augmentation. Powering fast, efficient VTOL UAS & aircraft for cargo and people. Join the future of flight!
Jetoptera's Project Pegasus has been selected to compete in the @DARPA Lift Challenge — one of just 72 teams chosen from 480 applicants. 🏆
Pegasus runs on a bladeless, ejector-based propulsion system designed to carry 4x its own weight, with a control system that responds 10x faster than conventional multi-copters.
We fly in Dayton, Ohio, August 2-9, 2026. $6.5M in prizes on the line, including a $2.5M grand prize.

We are currently stress-testing each aircraft component ahead of the @DARPA Lift Challenge. This valve test video shows what that looks like - this is the work that builds confidence before anything leaves the ground.
Our ceramic composite thrusters have also cleared testing and are ready for airframe integration. 🔩
Our aircraft must be under 55 lbs and carry twice the payload. These ceramic thrusters are a huge step in making this possible.

J-500 Update
Major milestone hit: the Fluidic Propulsion System® for our J-500 cargo drone is fully assembled!
This is the first complete FPS® built with a turbocompressor designed specifically for the architecture.
The system is now at TRL 6 on the NASA scale. TRL 7 — flight demonstration — is next. 🎯

The U.S. Army just launched a digital drone marketplace, creating a massive opening for companies like ours with tech that actually stands out. 🚁
Bladeless. Safe near people. Built for environments where conventional drones can't go.
Marketplaces reward differentiation. Ours is hard to miss.
Get in on the ground floor 👉 wefunder.com/jetoptera#VTOL#aviation#UAS#drones
16 runs. ¼ mile apart. 250ft altitude. Payload = aircraft weight. Land in a 10ft circle. That's the DARPA Lift Challenge. No aircraft today can lift a payload twice its own weight. Not the Sikorsky S-64. Not the Kaman K-Max.
Last week we fired our CMC thrusters for the second time. Maiden flight is coming. Our fastest operation to date. Join us in transforming aviation as we know it.

What does it take to end the age of the spinning rotor?
For Andrei Evulet, it started with a lifelong dream of building airplanes.
Andrei, a veteran aerospace engineer who served as the Tech Maturation&Integration leader engineer for the revolutionary GE9X turbofan, saw a future that the rest of the industry wasn't building. So in 2015, he co-founded Jetoptera alongside Denis Dancanet and Simina Farcasiu. Fast forward to today: 187 patents granted, $6M in revenue, technology in flight.
Our name says it all — Jetoptera, from "Jet" and pteron, the Greek word for "wing." A new kind of wing. A new era of flight. Invest or double down today:
