Three indigenous micro gas turbine engines (NJ‑05, NJ‑50, NJ‑100) were unveiled.
NJ‑05 provides 5 kg of thrust, NJ‑50 provides 50 kg, and NJ‑100 provides 100 kg.
Applications include unmanned aerial vehicles, drone interceptors and miniaturised missile systems.
The development supports India’s goal of technological self‑reliance in aerospace and defence.
Domestic manufacturing of these engines could boost the local aerospace industry and create new jobs.
These engines deliver thrust levels of 5 kg, 50 kg and 100 kg respectively and are intended for use in unmanned aerial vehicles, drone‑intercepting systems and compact missile platforms.
The project aims to strengthen India’s self‑reliance in advanced aerospace propulsion and support the growing domestic drone and defence ecosystem.
