Jijau: Adaptive Jet Engine Architecture

Next-generation propulsion for high-speed, long-range, and stealth platforms.

What is an Adaptive Engine?

Traditional jet engines operate with fixed bypass ratios. Jijau introduces a breakthrough: an adaptive bypass system that intelligently adjusts the airflow split between core and bypass ducts based on mission needs—offering unmatched versatility between combat power and cruise efficiency.

Key Features

🧠 AI-Controlled Variable Bypass Ducting: Real-time modulation of bypass ratio for mission-optimized thrust and efficiency.
🔥 High-Temp Core with Advanced Alloys: Core temperatures beyond 1800K using custom nickel-based alloys and coated blades.
🧊 Integrated Thermal Management: Adaptive nozzle + embedded cooling loops for infrared signature control.
✈️ Supercruise Capability: Efficient dry thrust for sustained supersonic flight.
📦 Compact Modular Design: For integration into twin-engine or single-engine platforms with reduced radar cross-section.

Development Philosophy

Jijau is being built on an iterative, digital-first development model:

Digital Twin Simulation: Complete thermodynamic cycle modeling, CFD flow paths, and turbine dynamics.
Subscale Prototype Testing: Multi-stage core demonstrator built and tested in high-altitude facility.
Material Innovation: In-house metallurgy R&D for high-stress rotating components.
Control Intelligence: Embedded software developed with secure, real-time adaptive logic.
