About
R-Jet Engineering is an Israeli company developing advanced power generation and propulsion technologies. Their products include the TG-40, a 40 kW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit with solar and non-solar versions, and the Orbiting Combustion Nozzle (OCN) jet engine, designed for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions for ground and aviation applications. The OCN engine can be built at half the size of a conventional jet of similar power, with fewer components and at a lower cost, using at least 25% less fuel and cutting carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by three-quarters.
