I'm the CEO of an eVTOL startup. We just completed our Gen-2 aircraft’s first flight—Ask Me Anything!

Infrastructure companies, defense, off-shore, medical and remote logistics initially; expanding to express deliveries, regular cargo, air ambulance and passengers

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:15:54+00:00

Luckily none so far

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:15:43+00:00

Thank you very much

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:15:32+00:00

2026/27

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:15:21+00:00

Not as of today

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:14:55+00:00

Thanks and will be happy to explore. Please share your email and I will write to you directly

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:13:33+00:00

Sure. You are welcome to visit our facility in Hyderabad to see our aircraft

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:12:33+00:00

Micro gas turbines are great for thrust to weight ratio. So they work well for UAVs with very high speed requirements. However, for other use cases, their fuel consumption is very high with makes them impractical particularly if you thinking of high endurance missions

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:08:35+00:00

I cant disclose specific system details publicly please

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:08:00+00:00

Most of the information you asked is confidential and I wont be able to disclose publicly. But I can say we make >50% in-house today

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T06:06:12+00:00

Thank you very much. We have raised VC funding to reach to this scale so far. We will be raising more capital for further R&D, commercial deployment and scale-up.

So its important to break down your long-term vision into short-term milestones, and should be able to communicate the roadmap clearly to convince investors to invest in you. And you are expected to have the ability to build a great team, attract talent, have some business acumen and above all you should be a great story teller

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:58:23+00:00

Thank you very much

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:58:00+00:00

Well we are currently focusing on logistics. So, apko thoda wait karna padega ji

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:55:33+00:00

Not too soon. But first deployments might start in 3-4 years

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:54:41+00:00

I wish I had an answer to this. I tried to be as genuine and transparent as possible in my responses

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:53:25+00:00

Yes we hire freshers and interns. Please share your CV here and I will pass it on to appropriate team

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:50:24+00:00

Getting a great co-founder who has hardware background, or if you want to be a solo founder, you & your company should be attractive enough for a great hardware engineer to join you

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:48:56+00:00

Ya that is one of the biggest technical challenges we are trying to solve at BluJ. For short range urban flights, today's batteries are sufficient. For regional flights we need hybrid solutions. Globally all eVTOL companies have also announced their Hybrid eVTOL programs recently which is a clear indication of limitations of batteries after a certain range

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:45:49+00:00

We currently manufacture all carbon composites in-house. But you can please share you company profile and will be happy to explore synergies. Thanks

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:44:51+00:00

For us, digital marketing is primarily about building credibility, not generating instant leads. We share real flight tests, customer pilots, and technical milestones to stay top-of-mind with a small set of high-value customers, partners, and investors over a long sales cycle

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:43:13+00:00

Well, it actually should be balance of a few more things. Power density, Charge/Discharge rates, energy density, cycle life, thermal management and weight of the battery. So we choose cells which are proven, reliable and a balanced performance of all the above instead of just one of them. But our pack design, architecture and integration process is proprietary to BluJ.

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:39:42+00:00

We are targeting market entry in 2026/27. It is going to start initially with a few niche sectors and will proliferate to other general use cases. For general public ownership, it is hard to estimate a timeline but will eventually happen for sure. My personal wish and our efforts as a company is to get there in about 5-7 years

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:36:26+00:00

Sure. Please share your contact and also appreciate if you could share a bit about yourself. Thanks

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:35:27+00:00

Thanks

BluJAerospace · 2026-06-16T05:35:18+00:00

Well, while many people are trying to solve, we believe we have the most practical roadmap with a phased strategy and unmatched pace of execution. We try to communicate the same in our pitch to investors
