The J-1 engine is an advanced pulsejet propulsion system that is designed for high-speed UAVs with gross weights up to 200 lbs. Featuring a unique design with no moving parts, the engine is immune to debris ingestion and highly resilient to damage, and is scalable and extremely cost-effective with a thrust-specific fuel consumption that is competitive with turbine engines.
The J-1 is provided as a complete package with a fuel supply system and digital ECU (engine control unit) with PWM inputs. Delivering thrust levels of up to 53 lbf (236N), it is run on gasoline as standard or equipped with optional E85 bioethanol or Jet-A/JP-8 heavy fuel capabilities. The engine can be started instantly, and also features a unique and proven mid-air starting and restarting ability.
