The Technology Development Board (TDB) of India has signed an agreement with Casey Aviation Private Limited to develop a hybrid propulsion-based Jump Take-Off (JTO) system for unmanned and light aircraft. This project, titled 'Boost Electric Jump Take-Off (BE-JTO)', is backed by a conditional grant under the India-UK Collaborative R&D Programme for Industrial Sustainability, in collaboration with ARC Aerosystems Ltd.
A dedicated test bench facility will be established to validate rotorcraft propulsion systems, marking the first such infrastructure in North India. This facility aims to support startups and optimize emerging aerial technologies, enhancing India's capabilities in unmanned aviation and regional air mobility. The initiative is expected to reduce development timelines and costs, facilitating the commercialization of hybrid propulsion solutions and encouraging innovation in both defense and civilian applications.
