Hyd-based Raghu Vamsi Aerospace debuts indigenous Jet Engine & UAV tech at 55th Paris Air show

Hyderabad, June 18 (UNI) Hyderabad-based Raghu Vamsi Aerospace Group, a leader in high-precision manufacturing, today said it has unveiled its latest defense and propulsion technologies at the 55th International Paris Air Show.
From indigenous micro turbojet engines to high-performance kamikaze drones, the company's showcase reflected its expanding global footprint and deep commitment to India’s defense self-reliance, the company said in a release here.
Solidifying its position as a global aerospace player, Raghu Vamsi recently acquired WMT Precision LLC, a 40-year-old aerospace manufacturing company based in Syracuse, USA, renowned for producing fuel nozzles for Collins, Parker, and Honeywell.
This acquisition enhances Raghu Vamsi’s capabilities in critical aero engine components and provides a strong foothold in the North American market.
Earlier this year, the group also acquired PMC Group (UK), marking its entry into the Oil & Gas sector, specializing in high-performance nickel alloy components for Surface, Drilling, Sub-Sea, Wireline operations—broadening its advanced engineering portfolio beyond aerospace and defense.
At the show, Raghu Vamsi unveiled a fully indigenous 40 KGF micro turbojet engine, developed for UAVs and cruise missiles—a major breakthrough for India's propulsion capabilities.
Successfully tested at the company’s Hyderabad facility in the presence of DRDO officials, this high-thrust engine is part of a family of four indigenous engines (14, 19, 25, and 40 KGF) designed and manufactured entirely in India.
“This engine represents a historic leap for Indian aerospace propulsion. It’s the culmination of years of R&D, manufacturing precision, and a bold vision for self-reliant defense technologies,” said Vamsi Vikas, Managing Director, Raghu Vamsi Aerospace Group.
The company also showcased the Astra 100, a jet-powered fixed-wing kamikaze UAV developed under its deep-tech brand ARROBOT.
With a range of 200 km and speeds of up to 450 km/h, the UAV completed successful test trials earlier this year.
“We are building the future of autonomous warfare with 100% indigenous systems. The Astra 100 proves India’s readiness to lead in this space,” Vikas added.
