HyJET is a design for a viable modular hybrid aircraft engine, that's designed to be powerful, economical and quiet. The engine is designed to reduce emissions, and reduce costs for the airlines and ultimately the passengers.

The main goal of the engine is to reduce emissions, and now is more important than ever, in 2015 the aerospace industry alone pumped out 781 million tonnes of CO2, and at any one time, there's more than 6000 civil aircraft in the air. We need to reduce aerospace emissions by 90% as soon as 2050. Or even better, 2040.

The hyjet HXHYBRID engine is a viable design for today's climate, not just a claim that will happen in decades, it uses today's technology to create a modular style hybrid system all built into a normal size engine design. the size is flexible too, which mean's it can be incorporated into a wide spectrum of aircraft design, and we aim to be able to retrofit it to small to medium aircraft. The aim isn't to replace all the major engines and manufacturers on larger aircraft, but simply provide a greener alternative and introduce a new type of propulsion into today's booming market, and reduce the emissions of aircraft, helping to ensure the security of the aerospace industry.

In the long term plan hyjetsystems will apply the same technology to design and build ground vehicles at airports that will also reduce emissions from airports, as well as reduce fuel consumption. I also aim to research into sustainable sources of fuel for the hybrid engines, re searching into making bio fuels grown as plants a viable long term solution and one that can be mass produced, partially by bringing down the fuel consumption allowing alternative fuels to catch up.

So the plan-why we're on kickstarter- Our plan is to get enough funding to build a half size functioning prototype and a to take to shows and events, demonstrating the engine, and talking to people about its benefit, and advertise the engine.

This is where we need your help. by investing in the project you'll be helping to fund the build of the prototype, and helping me show the engine at RIAT air show next year. Thank you for believing in us!
