We design and develop innovative propulsion systems for commercialization, with our initial focus on a reusable 3D printed 20 kN Kerolox rocket engine under Project One. Our market study has identified gaps and challenges in the rocket engine market. Our company aims to fill the gap in propulsion technology R&D and development, including high-thrust, high-Isp engines and microcombustors.
TWD
Thrustworks Dynetics is a propulsion-focused company founded by Manan Joshi, Kalyani Shinde, and Vinith Shenoy. The company’s expertise lies in the design and development of cutting-edge propulsion systems for commercial purposes. The team began their journey in the propulsion domain years before the formation of the company through a project called Project One.
The project was supervised by the Aerospace department of Bharat Forge, Pune, where the team made significant progress and identified several gaps in the global liquid rocket engine market. To provide solutions for these gaps and to tackle the lack of companies in India focused exclusively on propulsion system development, Thrustworks Dynetics was established on February 22nd, 2023.
The company’s ultimate mission is to provide affordable access to propulsion systems for aerospace applications and shorten the development time.
