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.

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.
