JetZero, a pioneering startup based in California, is reshaping the future of air travel with its innovative blended wing body (BWB) aircraft design. This ambitious venture has recently marked a significant milestone as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the Pathfinder Demonstrator, a 1:8 scale model of JetZero's BWB aircraft, for test flights above [...]
JetZero, an innovative developer in the aviation industry, has made a significant leap forward with the FAA granting an airworthiness certificate for its 12.5% scaled blended wing body (BWB) demonstrator. This milestone allows the unmanned, twin-engine aircraft, known as the “Pathfinder,” to commence flight tests at Edwards Air Force Base in California, marking a pivotal [...]
California-based startup JetZero has secured a $235 million contract from the US Air Force to develop and showcase a prototype of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft by 2027. The BWB design seamlessly integrates the aircraft's body with its high-aspect-ratio wing, resulting in reduced aerodynamic drag and improved fuel efficiency. This innovative concept holds promise [...]
JetZero, a pioneering aviation company, has unveiled its revolutionary blended-wing jetliner that promises to revolutionize regional air travel. The unique design of the aircraft, which blends the wing and fuselage into a single structure, enables remarkable fuel efficiency and noise reduction, setting it apart from conventional commercial jets. At this week's Aviation Festival Americas, May [...]
A possible glimpse into the future of aircraft interiors has been revealed by JetZero, which would move cabin design from the conventional tube, to a more open space with new potential for the passenger experience. The proposal is a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft that reduces weight and drag through the elimination of the conventional [...]

The aviation industry's continuous quest for aerodynamic efficiency and innovation is epitomized by the Flying Wing and Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft designs. These concepts challenge traditional aircraft architecture by eliminating the conventional fuselage, instead integrating the crew, payload, and equipment within the wing's structure. This results in a sleek, streamlined form that significantly enhances [...]
The recent high-profile near-disaster involving an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-9 Max is just another small step in Boeing’s downward spiral, and it is far from clear what will arrest it. The safety concerns and manufacturing errors plaguing the company’s jetliner unit are just part of the problem. The production ramp-up has been a series of [...]
While the flying experience has never been that great, most travelers would agree that in-flight enjoyment has become harder than ever to find. Airplane seats have been shrinking to the point where even the average person can hardly get comfortable these days, and airports always seem crowded and understaffed. Not only that, but more and [...]
ZeroAvia, the leading innovator in decarbonising commercial aviation, has completed the world first hydrogen fuel cell powered flight of a commercial-grade aircraft on the 24 September. The flight took place at the company’s R&D facility in Cranfield, England, with the Piper M-class six-seat plane completing taxi, takeoff, a full pattern circuit, and landing. ZeroAvia’s achievement [...]
