Repeatability in performance is what differentiates a working prototype from a working subsystem. Humbled to share a video of the repeatability test performed on our single piece, fully 3d printed, semicryogenic, 1 meter long Agnite engine. Seeing the pressure and temperature plots from the previous test match the same plots from the next test gives amazing confidence to proceed towards stage level testing. With steady progress on clustering electric motor driven engines, single piece engines at larger thrust levels and rapid additive manufacturing, we are getting ever so close to flying these engines on our operational launch vehicles. Thanks to ISRO & IN-SPACe for their constant support and guidance. Of course, none of this is even possible without the help of the entire IIT Madras ecosystem.

Quick start of engines is important to achieve higher payload capability and better overall control of the vehicle after stage separation. We successfully demonstrated a quick start of our 1 meter long, single piece, fully 3d printed, semi cryogenic Agnite engine. The angular acceleration (rotations per second gained every second) that was achieved here is truly humbling. One advantage of liquid propellant rocket engines is that the lower stage of the vehicle can be started, checked and then flown on the launchpad. Such a procedure demands extremely rapid pump ramp up times - this is what this test validated for us. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO & IN-SPACe From here on, the acceleration of engines to reach steady state will likely consume lesser and lesser fuel. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT

Humbled to announce the successful firing of our single piece Agnite engine. Agnite engines power Agnibaan’s booster stage. These engine chambers are a full meter long, fully 3d printed as a single piece of hardware and made of Inconel. Agnite engines are driven by pumps that are controlled and operated by electric motors. Thanks to ISRO & IN-SPACe for their constant support and to IIT Madras for being our home turf from which this kind of technology is built. This Agnite engine was printed, depowdered and post processed in the same machines that we inaugurated as a part of our Large Format Additive Metal Manufacturing facility (LFAMM) towards the end of last year. This milestone is also significant for us because it completes one end-to-end cycle of design, manufacturing, assembly and testing of our larger engines, in-house. Amazing work by the team in pulling off a few world firsts here. - world’s first single piece engine of this size being fired - world’s largest inconel only engine - world’s only electric motor fed, semi cryo engine of this size and the list continues. However, this is not a race to be the world's first, it is a race to be the world's best & to be the world's most useful technology for launching small satellites to orbit. This comes right after firing a cluster of 3 semi cryogenic engines that happened last month. Honoured to be working with a team that truly believes in building world class, original space technology for the world, from India.

Humbled to share that we successfully test fired 4 semi-cryogenic rocket engines simultaneously, as a cluster. All the 4 engines are 3d printed as single pieces of hardware - designed and manufactured in-house at AgniKul Cosmos Rocket Factory - 1. As with all our propulsion systems, these 4 engines are also powered by electric motor driven pumps. This test involved calibrating 8 pumps, 8 motors and tuning 8 speed control algorithms to work together in perfect sync to achieve uniform startup, steady state and shutdown performance across the entire system. As with the last cluster test, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a test has been performed in India with semi cryogenic engines. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO and IN-SPACe From here on, the addition of engines to our clusters will likely increase non-linearly. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT

He skipped placements at IIT Madras for 2 consecutive days. On the third day, he took a flight back to Mangalore just to avoid being forced by his family to attend placements. His desire to build an aircraft company was so intense that it made him act irrationally in front of his family. He then started building his aircraft company from Bengaluru. When he had barely Rs 20,000 in hand, he still hired an intern, promising a stipend of Rs 7,000. On one of the days when he could not make it back to his PG on time, he spent the night at the Majestic bus stand. All of this at the age of 23! That is the story of Shreepoorna S Rao, founder of Arctus Aerospace, a company building unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly up to 45,000 feet and capture imagery for a wide range of use cases.

Today, Sarla Aviation begins ground testing of SYLLA SYL-X1 — our half-scale eVTOL demonstrator (7.5 m wingspan, 4 m fuselage) — revealed here not as a concept or a static display, but as a real aircraft, strapped down and tested under controlled loads. This phase marks the transition from design and integration to validation. Structures, propulsion, and system-level safety are now being proven at meaningful scale, with certification intent guiding every decision. This is the quiet, disciplined part of aviation — where progress is measured in data, not announcements. Built entirely in India in under nine months, SYL-X1 represents the most advanced private step yet toward certified vertical flight in the country. More importantly, it reflects a shift from ambition to execution — from discussing what’s possible to preparing what must work. This is the start of ground testing. Next year will be about lift. Built in India. For India. And for the world. 🇮🇳 #SarlaAviation #SYLLASYLX1 #eVTOL #AirTaxi #MadeinIndia #AatmanirbharBharat #UrbanAirMobility #Aviation Adrian Schmidt

Structures, propulsion, and system-level safety are now being proven at meaningful scale, with certification intent guiding every decision. This is the quiet, disciplined part of aviation — where progress is measured in data, not announcements. Built entirely in India in under nine months, SYL-X1 represents the most advanced private step yet toward certified vertical flight in the country. More importantly, it reflects a shift from ambition to execution — from discussing what’s possible to preparing what must work. This is the start of ground testing. Next year will be about lift. Built in India. For India. And for the world. 🇮🇳 #SarlaAviation #SYLLASYLX1 #eVTOL #AirTaxi #MadeinIndia #AatmanirbharBharat #UrbanAirMobility #Aviation Adrian Schmidt

Proud and delighted to see yet another T-Hub incubated startup redefining the future of aerospace. Recently, BluJ Aero, a Hyderabad-based startup, unveiled its second-generation prototype aircraft, marking a major step in scaling up its eVTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) ambitions. BluJ Aero is developing hydrogen-electric and battery-powered VTOL aircraft for short-distance mobility, enabling fast passenger and cargo transport without conventional airport infrastructure. Built entirely in Hyderabad, BluJ Aerospace Private Limited is backed by T-Hub, whose mentorship, market access, and innovation ecosystem have helped transform the company from a promising idea into a pioneering aerospace venture. I remember presenting them with the ‘Most Promising Innovation Award’ in 2022 on the occasion of T-Hub Foundation Day. Wishing the BluJ Aero team continued success as they soar to even greater heights.

‼️🚨First Sukhoi Superjet-100 without western parts made its first flight! -> Now Russia has own modern jets without western parts. Hence there’s a new competitor on the market! Detail: The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft made its first flight, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia reported. The import-substituting board took off ahead of schedule. The flight duration was 54 minutes, it took place at an altitude of up to 3 thousand meters and a speed of up to 343 km / h. During the tests, the specialists confirmed the stable operation of all domestic systems, the controllability and stability of the aircraft in the air. Russian developers implemented and installed their own design solutions and technologies on the aircraft. In December, the United Engine Corporation announced the start of flight tests of the PD-8 engine designed for a passenger airliner. Previously, the SSJ-100 aircraft had an engine of the joint Russian-European development SaM-146, but due to sanctions, its production stopped, so we had to create a completely domestic PD-8.
