JETX is an aerospace technology company developing the building blocks of Advanced Air Mobility — electric and hybrid-electric propulsion, a modular and scalable eVTOL platform, AI flight autonomy, and a portfolio of advanced concept aircraft for both civil and defense markets.
We design and build our own aircraft, and develop concepts on commission for government and commercial partners — bringing fighter-jet vector thrust to the AAM and UAM markets at a fraction of legacy cost.
Today's eVTOL aircraft rotate or tilt their thrust sources — rotors, ducted fans, thrusters — to vector thrust for vertical flight, or rely on fixed rotors that direct thrust vertically through every stage of flight. Both add weight, noise, exposed moving parts and points of failure.
JETX's core technology removes that constraint: our thrust sources do not need to rotate or tilt to provide vertical thrust — a fundamental advantage that expands what these aircraft can do.
A thrust source — an Electric Ducted Fan, a fluidic thruster fed by electric air compressors, or another novel electric source — is enclosed within the structure: embedded inside the fuselage, or housed in dedicated propulsion bodies and shrouded nacelles on the wings. Vector-thrust mechanisms then redirect that airflow on demand for vertical or forward flight: ventral flap, flaps, bucket and cascade vanes, all patent pending.
Because the propulsion is shrouded rather than left exposed on open rotors, the enclosure itself does acoustic work. With soundproof and thermal liners that means dramatic noise attenuation and a lower radar and thermal signature — and the modular, electric design keeps maintenance and operating cost low.
{it.body}
A next-generation tactical UAV built around proprietary non-rotating vector thrust — redirecting thrust without rotating motors or moving nacelles for fewer failure points and greater control authority. It pairs helicopter vertical access with fixed-wing speed, powered by a hybrid-electric propulsion system with a multi-fuel turbogenerator, supporting ISR, reconnaissance and resupply with autonomous maneuvering in GPS-degraded environments. Designated Awardable on the U.S. Army DevX Autonomy marketplace.
Every JETX claim is grounded in analysis and hardware. UCF computational fluid dynamics maps velocity and thrust across EDF, ventral-flap and cascade configurations; at the Tennessee Tech subsonic wind tunnel we then measured thrust, vectoring authority and stability — validating multi-axis control on three-fan rigs and capturing force and moment data on a six-DOF stand. Together these campaigns de-risk the propulsion architecture long before it reaches flight.
