COMMERCIALIZATION
- Received funding for continued
development from the USAF AFRL. This is a five year Phase III SBIR
contract funded to the $8M level
- Advanced Projects Research,
Inc. (APRI) has a $5M task order contract with NASA Glen Research
Center for PDE Development
- Application of technology to
regional jet engines has been examined with NASA funding. Favorable
results were obtained
- The APRI “pulsejet” technology
stands as unique in the community of pulsed combustion
- Interest by drone manufacturers
for use as a drone engine. Will reduce engine cost substantially
