Aerospace propulsion hasn't seen a fundamental shift in decades. Today, we're changing that.

Proud to announce that DeepPropulse Aerospace has secured ₹25 Crore in seed funding led by IAN Alpha Fund to build the future of high-speed flight.

So, @timesofindia has done a piece on @dpropulse's rotating detonation engine efforts:

[dpropulse @dpropulse]

Our Founder & CEO, Saurav Jha, joined NDTV’s Ctrl + Alt + Defence to discuss RDEs, indigenous aero propulsion, the Kaveri programme, rapid development cycles, and India’s defence tech future.

[NDTV @ndtv]

India's quest for indigenous propulsion technology may have reached a turning point. Can a new rotating detonation engine developed by an Indian startup transform the future of missiles, drones, hypersonic weapons—and even space launch systems?
On this week's #CtrlAltDefence, Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor are joined by Saurav Jha, founder and CEO of D-Propulse, to decode one of India's most ambitious indigenous propulsion projects and why it could redefine military technology.
All this and more answered on CTRL ALT DEFENCE with @ShivAroor and @VishnuNDTV on ALL your favourite podcast platforms.

Not everyday that one gets to talk about the need for speed with both Shiva and Vishnu. :) Was an absolute pleasure @VishnuNDTV & @ShivAroor . Thank you for the patient hearing folks. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

'D-Propulse demonstrates India's first indigenous 5 kN air-breathing detonation engine'

Are diamonds a combustor's best friend? @dpropulse

[Saurav Jha @SJha1618]

Thought I'll give you guys a sneak peek. Here's a video of one of the short duration runs conducted by @dpropulse with its air-breathing rotating detonation prototype at a government facility during July 21-22, 2026. 5 kN burn with reduced air mass flow and reduced fuel flow as well. Aerospike nozzle integration proved. High-speed, High-definition content will also be released by and by.

[Saurav Jha @SJha1618]

With the Maestro. TRL-5 attained. Our air-breathing rotating detonation engine (with aerospike nozzle integrated) spit fire and how at a government test facility. 5 kN achieved even with reduced air mass flow. More soon.

It is our great honor to announce that Dr Vijay Kumar Saraswat, former Chairman, DRDO and Past Member, NITI Aayog has joined the board of D-Propulse as Chairman with effect from 08 June 2026.

[dpropulse @dpropulse]

Under his guidance, D-Propulse is poised to rapidly develop advanced propulsion solutions for India.

Successful predetonator test (ignition mechanism) using our Hydrocarbon-fuel based rotating detonation combustor. The combustor itself is a 5 kN class proof motor.

[Saurav Jha @SJha1618]

So, @dpropulse is looking for talent in the following areas:

1. Aero-thermo structures design with strong CFD skills.
2. Regenerative cooling circuit design
3. Instrumentation (esp. dynamic sensor calibration)

If you have expertise in any of the above areas and are interested in getting your hands dirty, do send a mail to [email protected]

[Saurav Jha @SJha1618]

Unveiling @dpropulse's latest 5 kilonewton (kN) plus rotating detonation engine (RDE) combustor integrated with an aerospike nozzle. The aerospike nozzle is of course a natural fit for the annular geometry of the RDE combustor, besides conferring significant benefits in terms of automatic altitude compensation, compactness & structural optimization. And yes, this combustor iteration is much lighter than earlier ones.

[Saurav Jha @SJha1618]

Alright. @dpropulse is looking for specialists in regenerative cooling circuits. If you are interested in this please write to [email protected]

India has reached space, built advanced aircraft, and launched ambitious missions. Yet indigenous intellectual property in propulsion technology remains limited, despite it being one of the most complex layers of aerospace innovation.

[IAN Group @ianetwork]

@dpropulse Aerospace’s ₹25 crore fundraise reflects this shift, as the company moves forward with the development of high-supersonic and hypersonic propulsion systems that could change how future aerospace platforms are designed and built.
