Electric turbojet propulsion.
No fuel. Ambient air only.
Pulsionic is developing a jet engine that replaces fuel combustion with electrically-driven plasma heating of ambient air — no kerosene, no additive, no catalyst.
Propulsion-scale plasma ignition in ambient air.
On April 17, 2026, Pulsionic demonstrated a sustained, stable plasma discharge inside a laboratory-scale propulsion cavity — operating on ambient air alone, without any additive, noble gas, or chemical catalyst.
Technical details are protected under an active intellectual property strategy. Full dossier available under NDA to qualified research and investment partners.
A propulsion architecture compatible with a post-fossil aviation.
Zero fuel.
No kerosene, no hydrogen, no sustainable aviation fuel to source, certify, and transport. The propellant is the atmosphere itself.
Zero additive.
Pure ambient air — no noble gas feed, no chemical catalyst, no external reactant. No industrial supply chain to build.
Fully electric.
Energy comes from electricity. Compatible with batteries, fuel cells, or any future electrical power source — and with the grid's decarbonization.
From bench proof to first flight in 2026.
Proof-of-concept characterization
Quantitative measurement of the plasma-driven heating effect on bench-scale instrumentation.
Integrated static thrust demonstration
Integration into a small-scale turbojet platform. First thrust measurement under controlled conditions.
First flight demonstration
Flight-representative integration on an airborne demonstrator.
A first-year milestone.
Pulsionic was founded in 2026 by Thomas Gheffar. The project demonstrated its first stable plasma ignition in ambient air on April 17, 2026 — within the first year of development, with a hardware-first, empirical approach.
Based in France, Pulsionic is engaging with plasma physics laboratories and European aerospace partners as it scales toward integrated propulsion testing.
