PD Aerospace (
PDAS plans to develop a hybrid engine that produces jet and rocket thrust, using pulse detonation jet and pulse combustion rocket modes.[5] To reduce the cost of development and keep the vehicle low-cost, PDAS plans to use commercially available hardware, instead of custom-designed parts.[1] H.I.S. and ANA own 10% and 7% of the company, respectively.[3][6]
