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 @Jetoptera]

Congrats to Tesla a spectacular demo for the flying Roadster!

Our Fluidic Propulsive System® uses compressed air too, but makes its own in flight.😮

Introducing the J-900 AG, our highest-capacity agricultural aircraft 🌱

Built on the adaptive Fluidic Propulsive System® with nearly double the J-600 AG's capacity:
🌾 85-gallon hopper, 700 lb max payload
🌱 Up to 30 acres per load in under 10 minutes, or about 23 football fields
🛫 Takeoff roll under 100 feet fully loaded, vertical landing once empty
🔊 ~40 dBa quieter than a bladed system of equivalent power

Complements the J-600 AG, giving operators a choice based on what their fields require.

[Jetoptera @Jetoptera]

We redesigned our thrusters from scratch.

The new design is stainless steel: stamped and robotically laser-welded by a German manufacturer the same way automotive suppliers form sheet metal hardware for VW and BMW.

🔧 94% cheaper
⚖️ 82% lighter
📉 Under 1 kg (2 lbm) per unit but producing up to 33.4 kgf (75 lbf)

These savings carry across our whole J-Series, all sharing the same Fluidic Propulsive System®.

J-600 AG
Introducing the J-600 AG, our first agricultural drone 🌾
A bladeless agricultural UAS that covers up to 16 acres per load in under five minutes:
🌾 50-gallon hopper, 400 lb max payload
⚡ 100 mph working speed, comparable to a manned ag plane
🛫 Vertical takeoff from a field edge, no airstrip required
🔇 40 dBa quieter than a bladed system of equivalent power
Built on what we learned from Project Pegasus and powered by our Adaptive Fluidic Propulsive System®.

Our CEO went live on NBC last week to talk about bladeless flight. He explained how the same FPS that powers VTOL powers wing-in-ground-effect aircraft too, with zero external blades and 189 patents behind it.

[Jetoptera @Jetoptera]

correct, this is another application of our propulsion with the Upper Surface Blown wing used in a Wing-in-Ground Effect (WIG) vehicle. Powered by Diesel or Jet fuel turbocompressors, it will produce superior speeds and 3-4 times the range of any all electric battery powered WIGs, not to mention higher payloads.

Most aviation startups start with a render. We started with revenue.

We’ve generated $6.1M+ from commercial and defense programs and we’re using this round to accelerate the next phase: product execution and commercialization.

[Jetoptera @Jetoptera]

Tomorrow, a new FAA rule called MOSAIC goes into effect, and for the first time, it opens the light sport category to powered lift aircraft.

We believe the J-2000 and the J-4000 fit the new rule well. We conceptualized them years ago based on where we believed aviation needed to go, and the FAA just caught up.

AAM: why Jetoptera

Any investor looking at the $1 trillion air mobility runs into the same quandary dozens of companies, similar claims, and no obvious way to discern between them. With limited space left in our investment round on Wefunder, we wrote a few thoughts on what to focus on when deciding whether to invest in advanced air mobility, and why Jetoptera could make sense as an investment choice.

Our investment round on Wefunder is almost sold out.

A handful of spots remain. $22M in R&D, 189 patents, $6.1M in commercial and defense revenue, and a DARPA Lift Challenge competition with a $2.5M grand prize this August. The Fluidic Propulsive System® is proven and we're moving toward commercial execution.

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.
