Techstone, based in Taicang, is developing 1,000-kilogram-thrust turbojet engines, which are expected to fuel growth in related domestic industries.

Specializing in the research, development and industrialization of small aircraft engines for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles, the company has developed 500-kg high-performance turbojet and turbofan engines. These cutting-edge products excel in fuel consumption, thrust-to-weight ratio, and reliability, filling a gap in domestic power systems for supersonic UAVs and missiles.
