JetCat P1000-PRO vs P1000-PRO-GH: Which Version Fits Your Project?
The JetCat P1000-PRO and P1000-PRO-GH share the same 1100 N thrust class, integrated control architecture and core operating range. The practical difference is electrical generation: the standard model is the more compact option, while the GH version is designed for platforms with much higher onboard power demand.
P1000-PRO or P1000-PRO-GH: the short answer
Choose the JetCat P1000-PRO when a generator output of up to 500 W meets the project requirement and installation length or weight is a priority. Choose the JetCat P1000-PRO-GH when the aircraft needs the 1600 W three-phase generator for avionics, payloads or other onboard systems. Both versions are professional turbines and should be selected as part of a complete propulsion, fuel, control and power-system design.

What the 1100 N platform requires
These turbines are not small-drone engines. The standard P1000-PRO weighs 11 kg before the installation accounts for fuel, tank, battery, controls, mounting hardware and thermal clearances. Full-load fuel consumption is approximately 2,900 ml per minute, so endurance and usable fuel mass must be calculated early in the aircraft design.
The shared integrated architecture simplifies part of that work. The ECU, brushless starter/generator, twin brushless fuel pumps, valves, fuel filter and key sensors sit beneath the front fairing. Available interfaces include PWM, serial TTL, analogue input, JetCat bus and CAN through the 15-pin SUB-D connection. Direct kerosene start, in-flight restart capability, automatic cooling, logging and a dedicated safety-shutdown input are also part of the platform.
The deciding factor: onboard electrical power
The standard P1000-PRO is 444 mm long and offers generator output of up to 500 W, with three-phase AC available as an option. That is the better fit when the electrical budget is moderate and the shorter, lighter installation is valuable.
The P1000-PRO-GH extends the package to 505 mm and 11.57 kg in exchange for a 1600 W three-phase generator. The extra capacity can reduce the need for a separate generating solution, but it should be judged against the aircraft’s continuous and peak loads, voltage conversion, cooling, redundancy and failure strategy. The correct version is therefore determined by the complete electrical architecture, not by thrust alone.
Price and quotation
JetCat lists both P1000 versions on a price-on-request basis. Orkes can provide a current quotation and lead time after confirming the required model and configuration. For a useful first review, include the intended aircraft, installation envelope, control interface and estimated continuous and peak electrical loads.
