PBS Velká Bítes – a traditional aerospace manufacturing company headquartered in the Czech Republic – focuses its considerable capabilities on the development and manufacture of turbojet engines.
Specifically, these engines – the company’s flagship products – are designed for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned combat aerial systems (UCAS) and other tactical UAS. The company also produces auxiliary power units and engine control systems for helicopters and small aircraft.
Big heroes in a small body – an appropriate description for the PBS TJ150, for example – the latest model in the company’s range. Weighing just 19.6 kg, it offers 1,500 N of thrust and one of the family’s variants offers a saltwater recovery option.
Principal features of the PBS TJ150 include:
- Excellent thrust-diameter weight ratio
- Compact design
- Reliable in-flight start
- Digital electronic control (FADEC)
- Integrated starter-generator
- High G – force resistance
The very high quality and reliability of PBS jet engines is reflected in the fact they have been installed in over 1,300 aircraft worldwide. With certification to European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards, their quality makes them stand out from competing engines in their category.
