A British propulsion company that builds electric jet engines and ducted fans for drones and future aircraft, with workshops in Buckinghamshire.
Greenjets is a British company that designs and builds propulsion systems for aircraft. It began in 2022 with a small electric ducted-fan engine called the IPM5 for drones. The IPM5 weighs 750 grams and gives up to 5 kilograms of thrust. Larger versions were planned for bigger aircraft, including air taxis. Today the company describes itself as developing propulsion systems, aircraft platforms and launch technologies, and a July 2026 article says it is working on engines that range from electric ducted fans to geared turbofans.
We did not find a formal mission statement or values page. The founders have said "When we founded Greenjets, our ambition was to develop the technologies that would shape the future of aviation." A 2023 article quotes chief executive and co-founder Anmol Manohar saying the team is "uniquely positioned to be a world leader in this space", with experience from Rolls-Royce, Cosworth and UK Motorsport Valley. Chief technology officer Dr Guido Monterzino said the company can offer standard engines and also build custom ones to a customer's weight and thrust needs. The company has since added work for the UK Ministry of Defence, so it now serves defence as well as civil customers.
Greenjets is described as London-based in 2026 company data. Its engineering and workshop sites are in Buckinghamshire: apprenticeship listings give its address as Burners Lane, Milton Keynes, and a 2023 article described it as based in Bedfordshire. A July 2026 article says its UK facilities grew from about 12,000 to nearly 70,000 square feet in a year, without naming the towns.
The same article says the team numbers about 160 people and is expected to pass 250 as the company moves into production. Hands-on test work looks central to its culture: the apprenticeship duties include assembling and testing engines and supporting flight tests. The company says it works to the ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality standards used across aerospace. We did not find staff comments about culture, so treat that as unknown.
The clearest early-career route is apprenticeships. In 2025 Greenjets advertised two Apprentice Propulsion Technician places, which involve inventory, engine assembly and testing and flight-test support, and one Level 3 Apprentice Data Technician place, with training through Milton Keynes College. Both were advertised at £18,500 a year, and the data role asked for GCSE Maths and English at grades 9 to 4. These listings have closed and are dated 2025, so check the Greenjets careers page and the government Find an apprenticeship site for new openings. We did not find a graduate scheme.
