Today, Greenjets launches its first propulsion system, the IPM5. Designed to power the next generation of small unmanned aircraft, the motor weighs just 750 grams and delivers a maximum thrust of 5 kgf with a power output of 360 W.

The IPM5 is built around a ducted fan architecture, which reduces noise and increases safety compared to open-blade propellers. Greenjets has also patented several features that overcome the weight and efficiency challenges traditionally faced by ducted fans. Alongside the development of the IPM5, Greenjets is using this technology to manufacture propulsion systems for eVTOL and regional aircraft.

Anmol Manohar, CEO of Greenjets, says: “With a team that combines decades of Rolls-Royce’s traditional jet engine expertise, Cosworth’s series production experience with automotive engines, and the UK Motorsport Valley’s electrification expertise, Greenjets is uniquely positioned to be a world leader in this space with ultra-quiet, ultra-efficient engines.”

Guido Monterzino, CTO of Greenjets, comments: “Looking ahead, we have a very different business model. Unlike our rivals, who only offer standard products, Greenjets can offer products and rapidly create bespoke engines that meet customers’ precise weight and thrust requirements, thanks to our proprietary design systems and manufacturing methods.”
