About Us

Our in-house capabilities and our fully equipped machine shop and engineering department enable the implementation of our products from their inception to the final finished design.

Advance Turbine Design has developed a family of turbine engines, ranging from the ATDI-100 with 100 pounds of thrust down to turbines for the smallest applications.  The workhorse engine with most accumulated flight and test cell hours is the ATDI-35 (35 lb. of thrust) micro-turbojet engine, shown in the above figure at the far right.

Advance Turbine Design's key competitive advantage is its innovative, low-cost approach to design and fabrication of miniature air breathing engine systems, which provides real value to its customers.  The use of a streamlined, focused approach to product design leads to rapid technology development when compared to the rest of the gas turbine industry.

Advance Turbine Design has been engaged in the design, development and testing of micro-turbojet engines since 1986.  The company has demonstrated record of accomplishments for both NASA and DOD customers by delivering high-quality engine systems and operational support.  Engines from Advance Turbine Design are currently operating in flight test vehicles ranging in size from 30 lbs. up to 125 lbs. in twin-engine installations.  In Addition, even more applications are nearing completion.  Three ATDI-100 engines will power NASA low speed flight testing of hypersonic shapes up to transonic speeds.
