Jetoptera is an aviation startup developing powerful UAVs and realistic flying cars to revolutionize the way we transport products and people.

Jetoptera is an aviation startup with a revolutionary
propulsion system to be deployed in unmanned and manned
aircraft. Unique capability profile: vertical takeoff and
landing (VTOL), speeds of over 200 mph, payloads of 5 - 1,000 lbs,
range of 50 - 400 miles, and high maneuverability.

Natural Disasters Expo USA is underway in Houston, and Jetoptera is at Booth 524 right now.
Disaster relief is one of the reasons our CEO, Andrei Evulet, co-founded Jetoptera.

When the Kathmandu earthquake struck in April 2015, most roads and runways were ruined, and high winds made airdrops of emergency supplies impossible. Trucks full of supplies were stranded at the bottom of the mountains.

Responders who reach an area within the first 48 hours can save lives, deliver medicine and food, evacuate the wounded, and contain hazards.

Helicopters are the obvious answer, since they land without a runway. In Kathmandu, only a few could deliver life-saving assistance to remote sites, held back by the wind and weather. Helicopter speed is also limited, and exposed rotors make landing near people and rubble hazardous.

Jetoptera’s Fluidic Propulsive System® (FPS®) benefits from the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter and removes its limits.

In our tests, FPS valves adjust thrust in under 50 milliseconds, about ten times faster than rotor-driven aircraft respond, so an FPS aircraft can correct for a gust almost as soon as it hits. With no large rotors to limit speed, FPS aircraft fly 2-3X faster than helicopters, and with no exposed rotor they are safer to land near people and debris. In a disaster like Kathmandu, that means a faster, steadier flight to the mountaintops.

📍If you are in Houston for the Expo, stop by Booth 524. We are the only exhibitor presenting FPS.

Farmers are asking for the J-600 AG and J-900 AG. 🌾

Since we announced the J-600 AG and J-900 AG drones, our pre-order form has been inundated with requests from farmers and ag operators. Hundreds of aircraft have been requested, with numerous respondents requesting entire fleets.

Chinese manufacturers have supplied about 90% of the US spray-drone market, according to the American Spray Drone Coalition. US spray-drone sales fell almost 60% in 2025 after import restrictions on foreign shipments, and the FCC has stopped authorizing new foreign-made drone models.

We designed the J-600 AG and J-900 AG for that gap. Each is built to carry 2-3x more per load than the current options from the leading Chinese manufacturer.

Both of Jetoptera’s spray drones use our Fluidic Propulsive System®, with no rotor blades or propellers, which means safer, faster, cheaper operations and quieter skies for those living near farms. First deliveries are targeted for 2027, subject to regulatory approval and our development milestones.

We just surpassed $5M raised!

We are thrilled to share this milestone and overwhelmed with gratitude at the continued support and belief in what we are building. More than 1,100 people have invested in the current round, including multiple repeat investors, bringing our total investor community to nearly 3,000 strong.

Every aircraft in our J-Series is designed around one objective: replace loud, dangerous, slow propellers with quiet, safe, fast, bladeless propulsion. Our Fluidic Propulsive System® generates thrust with directed airflow, making our aircraft ~30dBA quieter and enabling up to five times faster than bladed equivalents.

Crossing $5M speeds up the plan already underway: funding flight testing and the certification work to bring our first aircraft to market next year.

64 years ago this week, The Jetsons first aired on TV, set 100 years in the future in 2062. That got us thinking about how much of the show has actually come true. Video calls, wrist tech, flat-screen TVs, digital news, and robot vacuums are already part of everyday life.
One big big way the Jetsons were ahead of today’s world is the flying car. There were no visible rotors, no exposed blades, just a clean little vehicle that lifted off and cruised through the sky, quiet, safe, fast, and convenient. That's the version of flight everyone actually wants.
That's the version we're building too. Our Fluidic Propulsive System® replaces spinning rotors with a jet of accelerated air, producing aircraft that are 2 to 3 times faster and 40 decibels quieter than a helicopter doing the same job, with less upkeep since there's no spinning blade to maintain.
The Jetsons pictured this future in 2062. We're targeting 2028 for the two-seat J-2000, and 2029 for the four-seat J-4000 that can fit the whole Jetson family.
One caveat: our aircraft will not automatically fold up into a briefcase for you to carry around. We’re working on one technological advancement at a time. 🙂

What does it take to end the age of the spinning rotor?

For our founder and CEO, Dr. Andrei T. Evulet, it started with a childhood dream to build airplanes and a garage in Ohio, where he put years of aerospace engineering experience, including leading technology integration on GE's GE9X turbofan engine, to the test.

That idea became a company in 2015, after an earthquake leveled Kathmandu and left people stranded beyond the reach of rescue aircraft. Andrei and his co-founders Denis Dancanet and Simina Farcasiu were inspired to build a fundamentally different way to fly to serve last mile disaster relief.

What resulted is the Fluidic Propulsive System® (FPS®), which replaces spinning blades with augmented air jets, eliminating the external rotor, the propeller, and the noise and hazards that come with them.

Here's how far that idea has come:
✈️ Pre-orders open for 5 types of FPS-powered aircraft, first commercialization targeting 2027: preorders.jetoptera.com
⚙️ 189+ granted patents
💰 $22M invested in R&D, $6.1M+ in revenue to date
🛡️ Seven U.S. military contracts, backed by SOCOM and AFSOC sponsorship
🚀 2,900+ investors backing us

As we move closer to commercializing the J-110 and J-2000, we wanted customers to have a concrete way to estimate range, based on their own specific needs. So we built a Range Calculator. With it, you can:
Set your departure point.
Set your payload.
Adjust cruise speed, wind, altitude, and reserve time to match your mission.
Visualize on a map how far you can fly under your defined settings and conditions.

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

Built on the same adaptive Fluidic Propulsive System® (FPS®) that powers the rest of our J-Series, the J-900 AG carries nearly double the J-600 AG's capacity.

The J-900 AG takes off with a short ground roll, under 100 feet, then lands vertically once the hopper is empty. Mounting the FPS thrusters on top of the wing lets their augmented jet exhaust flow directly over the wing and flaps, adding extra lift and thrust exactly when a heavy, fully loaded aircraft needs it most.

J-900 AG specs:
🌾 85-gallon hopper, 700 lb maximum payload (vs. 50 gallons and 400 lb on the J-600 AG)
🌱 Up to 30 acres per load in under 10 minutes, or about 23 football fields (vs. 16 acres in under five minutes on the J-600 AG)
⚡ 100 mph working speed, comparable to a manned ag plane
🛫 Takeoff roll under 100 feet fully loaded, vertical landing once empty
🔊 ~40 dBa quieter than a bladed system of equivalent power

This capability complements the J-600 AG, giving operators a choice based on what their fields require, and is well-suited for the $3B agricultural drone market which is projected to grow to $10B by 2030.

We just reached 1,000+ investors in this round on Wefunder!

Thank you to everyone who has believed in us and shares our vision for the future of bladeless flight.

That future runs on the Fluidic Propulsive System®, the technology at the core of every aircraft we build:

🚁 The J-110 flies cargo and delivery routes without spinning rotors, quiet enough for areas where noise limits keep rotorcraft out.
🌾 The J-600 AG covers up to 16 acres per load in under five minutes, faster than the manned spray planes farmers use today.
🛫 The J-2000 and J-4000 will carry people up to 400 miles per flight, faster than a comparable helicopter.

Here's what some of our investors have told us recently:

"Investing again in this follow-up round. Continued to be impressed with the ex*****on of the team, the IP moat, and the market potential." — Matthew H., repeat investor

"Novel propulsion technology with opportunities for diverse vehicle shape. Other EVTOLs being developed look bulky and complex in comparison." — Sankarananda Basak, thermal engineer at Intel

"It will revolutionize air transport as we know it and eventually make personal air travel affordable for millions." — Richard H. Jones, retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer
