[ AIR / PROPULSION ]STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT

Advanced Air Propulsion

Kosaint is extending its additive-first propulsion development approach to air-breathing propulsion systems.

Our first air propulsion concept is an additive-first turbojet technology demonstrator — exploring how simulation-led design, design-for-additive-manufacturing and advanced manufacturing can simplify the development of compact gas-turbine propulsion hardware.

Rather than treating additive manufacturing as a late-stage production method, Kosaint designs propulsion hardware around the capabilities of advanced manufacturing from the beginning — reducing part count, simplifying assemblies, shortening development cycles and enabling more integrated propulsion architectures.

Longer term, this capability supports the development of turbojet cores, combustors, nozzles, manifolds, heat exchangers, turbine components and other high-performance air-breathing propulsion hardware.
