The pioneer of these light, low-power microjet engines is undoubtedly the American engineer Max DREHER, who, in the 1960s, built a whole series of small turbines for military or civilian applications.

These pioneers include JPX, which launched the JPX T240 in 1989, the first gas-fired engine to be mass-produced, and AMT , with the Pegasus, the first kerosene-fired turbine to be launched in 1993.
