A microjet is only as good as its turbine wheel and guide vanes. We design every one of them in-house, for production by casting, laser powder-bed fusion and 5-axis machining at qualified manufacturing partners.

Community designs like the KJ-66 and GR-180 taught a generation how small turbojets work. The VD-100 takes the same basic layout up by more than a factor of six in thrust.

Designed in Leipzig

A propulsion
start-up.

Vector Dynamics Leipzig Ltd is a UK-registered propulsion company with its engineering in Leipzig, Saxony. We design our own microjet turbine engines and write the software behind them, from engine-control firmware to our engineering tools. Our engines are produced with qualified manufacturing partners and supplied to customers under the Vector Dynamics name.
