Turbotech
Partner
Turbotech operates in the Aerospace and Defense industry, specializing in the development of innovative aeronautical propulsion systems¹².
### Business Description
Founded in 2017, Turbotech is a French company that designs and manufactures high-performance, eco-friendly propulsion systems for light aircraft, helicopters, drones, and hybrid-electric aircraft¹². Their key products include:
- **Regenerative Turbines**: Turbotech is the first company to introduce regenerative turbines for aeronautical applications. These turbines use a patented microtube heat exchanger to recover heat from exhaust gases and reinject it into the combustion chamber, significantly reducing fuel consumption¹².
- **Turboprop Engines**: The TP-R90 turboprop engine combines the advantages of a gas turbine with very low fuel consumption, making it ideal for light aircraft².
- **Turbogenerators**: The TG-R90 turbogenerator is designed for hybrid-electric aircraft, providing onboard electrical power generation with high efficiency and low emissions².
### Commitment to Sustainability
Turbotech is dedicated to advancing sustainable aviation technologies. Their regenerative turbines and turbogenerators are designed to lower the environmental impact of flight by reducing fuel consumption and emissions¹². Key sustainability initiatives include:
- **Fuel Efficiency**: By using advanced heat exchanger technology, Turbotech's engines achieve fuel burn rates comparable to the best piston engines, while offering the reliability and performance of turbine engines¹.
- **Multi-Fuel Capability**: Their engines can operate on various fuels, including Jet-A1, Diesel, UL91, AVGAS, bio-fuels, and even hydrogen, supporting the transition to greener energy sources².
- **Hybrid-Electric Solutions**: Turbotech's turbogenerators enable long-range hybrid-electric flights, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting the use of electric propulsion².
Turbotech's innovative approach to aeronautical propulsion not only enhances performance and efficiency but also aligns with global efforts to reduce the aviation industry's carbon footprint.
