Why we're here

Jetex.org exists to serve the world-wide community of enthusiasts for models powered by micro rocket motors, especially those exemplified by the Jetex series of engines.

Our mission is to be the premier Web resource for information and advice about such models and the motors that power them.

Who's behind it

Jetex.org is the collaborative effort of enthusiasts from around the world. Contributors come from Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Japan, South Africa, New Zealand, the United States, and Wales. Their names can be found in the 'Acknowledgments' section at the foot of every content page.

The Jetex.org website is owned and managed by Dr Roger Simmonds (right) of Offord Darcy in the United Kingdom.

How we got here

The Jetex.org domain was founded in 1999 by Dr L Edward Jones (below left), a retired chemist, engineer and life-long Jetex enthusiast. Under his direction, the site quickly established itself as a definitive source of Jetex history and technical information.

2002 witnessed changes in management, with Jetex.org reappearing in a new guise by year's end under the ownership of Ben Nead (above) of Tucson, Arizona, USA, with the website being developed and maintained by John Miller Crawford (right) of Auckland, New Zealand.

Today, the website is being expanded by Dr Simmonds to enhance the definitive status it has gained as the internet's premier source of micro rocket motor and model jet resources.
