Hello folks,

Its been a while since the last update. Kept busy with lot of stuff going on here and there. The post is to let everyone know that the thread is alive and will reach it completion without any iota of doubt.

Current status:

The engine is almost ready. I can say 80%. Only the fuel and lub. lines are to be installed along with the thrust cone. The first run essentially will be without the cone so you can say once the fuel lines are ready, the engine will be up for firing.

There has been a lot of other activities that is consuming my time these days along with some other critical projects. I am parallely contemplating a design of 300N class monster. Some work on the ECUs programming is also in progress.

Given the status all the projects, I don't expect TS60 to run in next 2-3 week. Once I get some time I will complete this build. Hopefully sooner.

Stay put !!! Thrill is yet to come !!! :giggle:

Hello folks,

Posting after a long while. Apologies for not been active here. The year is about to end and I wanted to let you know the state of progress so far and update you what's coming.

The work on TS60 is on halt for the last 2 months due to material problem. Pandemic thing as taken a toll. This is likely to resolve by mid Jan, which will lead to its combustion ring completion and then testing. You will see an update on this fairly soon.

Meanwhile we have undertaken two more project on turbo based jet engine and the work is in design stage. The monster 300N (TS300T)project is one of them (to cater to UAV market) and the other one will be of 150N(TS150T) class.

Many other ancillary project has been completed in last 3-4 months and has now freed the bandwidth to focus on the core. 2021 will be a happening year where you will see things moving at higher pace with all prototype engines coming to completion, launch of the website, registering of X-gen etc. and by year end or start of new year 2021, 2 of the jet variant will be available for the market.

The initial engines will be offered to a small group of people at reduced prices for design consolidation, especially to those who are venturing into some domain where they need the engine to realize certain goal. This is to unable our startup friends who are seeking to use of such technologies.

This, in any sense, does mean that only startup folks will have the taste of the engine first. Being bootstrap, the rate with which we will be able to produce the engines will be low and thus we won't be able to cater to a large set of people initially. They will be prioritized if they need it. You will see an early bird application page by mid of the year 2021.

The scenario will change if we are able to secure some funding in the process and can ramp up the production. But essentially 2021 is going to be a year of design consolidation, completion and launching of the products to testers.

Its going to be fun. Stay tuned.

BTW, cheers for Skyroot on test firing their solid state engines. Way to go team !!!
