About Velontra
Velontra develops compact jet propulsion for uncrewed and high-speed aircraft. Its work covers low-cost turbojets and propulsion architectures for subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flight, with engines designed around the production cost, packaging and mission requirements of attritable autonomous systems.
The company supplies propulsion development rather than operating a space-transport service. Engineering spans inlet, combustor, turbomachinery and integrated vehicle testing, with customer programmes addressing drones, missiles and high-speed demonstrators. Velontra’s current business has moved beyond its earlier space-plane concept and is centred on deployable engines and propulsion technology.
