Taiyo Aerospace builds jet-powered, autonomous aircraft — engineered in India for the missions where speed, range, and reach decide outcomes. Medical resupply. Search-and-rescue. Disaster response. And more, on request.
Many of India's most urgent missions are time-bound. A medical case at a remote post. A vessel in distress at sea. A village cut off by floods. Today they share one bottleneck: nothing fast enough is cheap enough to actually deploy.
Taiyo Aerospace was founded in 2024 to close that gap. We build jet-powered, autonomous aircraft — fast, long-range, low-cost, and indigenous — engineered for the conditions where seconds count and infrastructure does not. We design our airframes, write our flight code, and intend to build our own engines.
A jet-powered, autonomous fixed-wing aircraft built around a modular payload bay. Two ruggedized cases fit in an SUV. Ten minutes from case-open to launch from a short dirt strip. Onboard autonomy completes the mission even when comms are denied.
Blood units, vaccines, defibrillators, and emergency pharmaceuticals to remote bases, ships, and high-altitude posts. The speed of a jet, the range of a fixed-wing, at a cost low enough to actually deploy.
Wide-area scan during the critical golden hours. High-speed transit to the search zone, low-altitude loiter with thermal and visual sensors, real-time relay to ground teams.
Persistent overwatch for floods, earthquakes, and forest fires. Damage assessment, communications relay, and supply runs into areas where roads and runways no longer exist.
Additional payload configurations available on request to qualified parties.
Case-open to ready-to-launch by a 2-person crew.
Click-lock joints with screw-lock MIL connectors.
Standard Jet-A1 or commercial-grade diesel.
Hot-pit refuel for high-tempo, repeat-mission operations.
The full-scale carbon-fibre airframe is assembled. We're putting it through ground integration — bench-running avionics, exercising control surfaces, and validating the propulsion stack on the test stand before first flight.
Our 70% scale aerodynamic prototype validated yaw response, climb performance, pitch authority, and surface drag in flight. Overmier AI integration is staged on a quadcopter testbed and rolls onto this airframe ahead of the dash-speed envelope.
Prototype validation of airframe, avionics, and AI systems at reduced speed. Low-risk flight envelope exploration.
COTS micro-turbojet integration. ~25 kg thrust. Full 450 km/h dash capability. Multi-fuel (Jet-A / diesel).
Indian-developed and manufactured engine for strategic independence, optimised thrust, and supply-chain sovereignty.
We built our initial capabilities through the SUAS Competition, delivering mission-specific drones under tight timelines. We bootstrapped both the 70% scale and full production prototypes — covering all design, fabrication, and testing costs independently.
Previously at Ati Motors working on new product initiatives and rapid prototyping. Focused on airframe design, manufacturing, and program execution at Taiyo.
Experience at Seasats building autonomous maritime platforms. Leads autonomy, flight controls, and the Overmier AI stack at Taiyo.
We're a small, technical, founder-led team. We move fast, build with our hands, and ship hardware.
