“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” ― Leonardo da Vinci
ABOUT JUMPJET X
JumpJet X is an autonomous jet engine powered aircraft unlike anything seen before.
THE NUMBERS Outfitted with 8 turbo jet engines the JumpJet X is capable of an astounding 600 km/h top speed and has a whopping 120 km range. Its collision avoidance Doppler radar system is groundbreaking custom technology, and it will utilize Japan's first registered self drive radar frequencies. The flight balance algorithm was completely written in house and is just another reason the JumpJet X boasts an impressive 200 kg payload heavy lift capacity. It’s also outfitted with 3 flight controllers and can operate even if 2 fail.

Test Range
Working in partnership and with the support of the Japanese government our test range has been established as the vast 50sq km area surrounding Mount Asama volcano pictured above. Our sealed private launch area with its close proximity to our R&D center offers excellent efficiency for future development cycles. The government support has also extended to their involvement in facilitating the development and construction of the mass production site also located in Gunma Prefecture Japan.
Fabrication
Acquired March 2016 the new 2000 Sq m Fabrication Facilities outfitted with MIG,TIG,ARC, plasma cutting units, 3 2 ton overhead gantries and continuous rolling metal work production line. The site is well suited to our current first phase production plan. Discussions are underway regarding a second phase mass production site for unit numbers exceeding 1000 per annum.
Research & Development
JumpJet X prototypes were completely designed in-house at our 10000 Sq m R&D facility using our small tools systems, welders, 3d printers and working in conjunction with our state of the art software development team.
Software development
Our Tokyo office now houses our software development team. The group is working in partnership with Star Systems K.K. to continue to develop the systems required to underlie the JumpJet X platform of innovation in the field of machine learning and avionics.
