Welcome on board
JetX is a club for jet engine enthusiasts. Established in September 2014, we have revolutionised aerospace education by providing a full engineering product development experience to a select group of students each year.
The X-Plorer family of jet engines consists of two sub-scale testing models designed in-house. The X-Plorer 1 is now complete and entered the testing stage in May 2017. This is the first jet engine model of its kind to feature an integrated monitoring system, providing crucial, real-time data on performance. Already a step ahead, Kronos will bring a much improved aerodynamic design to life, along with integrations with new electronics and pneumatic subsystems!

The Technomatic Group was formed in 2016 by a group of engineers with experience in pneumatic, hydraulic and vacuum systems for over 25 years. Technomatic is an authorised supplier of major European manufactures of equipment for industrial automation and has made a consistent contribution to our projects over the years. More recently, we were very glad to secure a deal for the entire pneumatics system that will actuate the variable exhaust area and thrust vectoring system of Kronos.

The ACSE department was established in 1968, in response to the growing importance of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering to all branches of industry world-wide. It has since grown to become the largest Control and Systems Engineering Department in Europe, with over 130 academic staff, research assistants and research students and over 300 undergraduate and postgraduate degree students.

ANSYS was founded in 1970 and is one of the largest developers of engineering simulation software worldwide. ANSYS technologies help product development organisations create innovative products and processes that meet a wide range of design requirements. Our teams use ANSYS packages for preliminary and more advanced FEA, CFD and in the future multi-physics simulations for all areas of our engines.
