At subsonic speeds, fuel efficiency can be improved by using a larger fan to push more air around the engine. However, at supersonic/hypersonic speeds, the main challenge is burning fuel effectively in the engine's combustion chamber. To improve the propulsive efficiency of jet engines at supersonic speeds, changing the thermodynamic cycle and using higher-energy fuel are two effective methods. However, these approaches have problems, including unstable combustion and logistical challenges with the new fuel type.

JET THERMO LAB develops a new technology for more efficient combustion of conventional hydrocarbon fuel. This technology can be applied to turbojet, turbofan, ramjet, liquid propellant engines, and solid fuel hybrid engines. New design of innovative combustion chamber validated through extensive modeling and simulation. For ramjet engine application, it allows to reduce fuel consumption up to 20% compare with a conventional ramjet engine at same conditions.

JET THERMO LAB proposes a supersonic drone powered by a turbofan engine integrated with four ramjet modules, each with an innovative combustion chamber installed.

This engine has a specific impulse of 2,300s at a speed of Mach 4, making it more fuel-efficient (GPM) than all existing aircraft jet engines.

New technology applied to liquid propellant rocket engines, will increase the payload of a rocket up to 15% for kerosene-LOX or methane-LOX fuel pairs.

JET THERMO LAB already has a USPTO Provisional patent: "Method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of hydrocarbon fuel combustion in jet engines". The patent includes theoretical and computational models.

The experimental lab unit, developed to test this patented technology, is now ready for testing.

JET THERMO LAB independently advances cutting-edge research on a next-generation combustion chamber for high-efficiency jet propulsion. Completing the full testing cycle demands substantial resources, including diagnostic equipment, test facility rentals, and related expenses.
