JetZero aims to make commercial jets flatter (and more futuristic) by 2030

JetZero develops a futuristic jet design aimed to reduce fuel use by 50% by 2030.

: JetZero, partnering with Siemens and Northrop Grumman, is working on a blended wing body jet design to reduce fuel consumption by 50%, promising zero emissions with sustainable fuels. This innovative model will seat 250 passengers yet maintain a smaller size than current single-aisle planes, like Boeing 737. JetZero aims for the first test flight by 2027, entering service by 2030, using Siemens' 'Factory of the Future' for production.

JetZero is collaborating with engineering giants Siemens and Northrop Grumman to introduce a blended wing body jet that promises a 50% reduction in fuel consumption. This new design integrates wings smoothly into the fuselage, potentially offering more interior space, lower noise levels, and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels or hydrogen.

Development is advanced by creating a subscale prototype called 'Pathfinder' in partnership with Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force, which has validated crucial aerodynamic principles. Siemens will play a crucial role in manufacturing through their advanced automation in a facility dubbed the 'Factory of the Future.'

JetZero targets the ambitious timeline of conducting their first test flight by 2027 and aims to introduce the new jet model commercially by 2030. Despite these strategic partnerships, establishing a manufacturing facility remains on JetZero’s roadmap to meet its objectives effectively.
