R-Jet Engineering Overview
R-Jet Engineering is the developer of the Orbiting Combustion Nozzle (OCN) gas turbine engine. The OCN rotates the air and hot gases in the combustor with the compressor and turbine, eliminating the need for two sets of static blades. As a result, an OCN engine can be built at half the size of a conventional jet of similar power, with fewer components and at a lower cost. In addition, the OCN engine uses at least 25% less fuel than conventional engines, and its emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide can be cut by three-quarters because of its ignition properties.

Nw OCN Jet Engine Sips 25% Less Fuel and Outputs 75% Less Greenhouse Gases
Israeli firm R-Jet Engineering has designed a new jet engine that could lower fuel consumption by 25%. The engine uses an orbiting combustion nozzle (OCN) and has the potential to offer significant savings in fuel and greenhouse gases. The engines improved ignition would cut carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide by three quarters. While it wont be implemented in passenger aircraft soon, it will first be tested in electricity generators and unmanned aircraft. The company sees great potential in electric motors for aircraft, but it will take time before electric flights are considered safe and worth implementing.

R-jet Engineering of Israel is developing a more efficient jet engine NextBigFuture.com
R-Jet Engineering is developing a more efficient jet engine called the Orbiting Combustion Nozzle (OCN) engine. The engine aims to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 20%. It has fewer components, is smaller and lighter than conventional engines, and cuts operation and maintenance costs. R-Jet suggests using the OCN engine initially as generators for electricity production or to power unmanned drones before migrating to airliners. The OCN engine is expected to reduce power generation costs by about 20% and achieve an overall efficiency of over 85%. The article highlights one of the patents for the OCN engine. The date of the event described in the article is unknown.

Powering up
The article discusses R-Jet Engineering, a small Israeli firm that is proposing a radical redesign of jet engines. The companys approach involves using an orbiting combustion nozzle (OCN) to rotate the air and hot gases in the combustor with the compressor and turbine. This design eliminates the need for static blades and allows for a more complete and efficient combustion process. R-Jet claims that their OCN engines would be cheaper to build, use 25% less fuel, and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide by three-quarters. However, the company needs a larger partner to further develop and commercialize the technology. The article also mentions that major aircraft-engine manufacturers are exploring new ideas for jet engines, including changes to their shape and the use of open rotors.

Israeli company R-Jet Engineering is developing a new type of jet engine based on an orbiting combustor nozzle (OCN). The OCN concept allows for continuous flow through an annular combustor into a coaxial turbine, increasing power and efficiency. The company claims that an OCN turboprop will have a thermal efficiency of 32% and lower fuel consumption compared to conventional engines. Major engine manufacturers are in negotiations to use the technology. R-Jet Engineering is seeking $25 million in investment to offer a series-production OCN engine in three years.
