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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
At the Singapore Air Show, running through February 16, 2020, major aviation manufacturer Airbus rolled out a proof-of-concept, scale model of its futuristic, aerodynamic aircraft design that’s potentially poised to revolutionize the industry. A product of its research-and-development arm, Airbus’ latest aircraft demonstrator, dubbed ‘MAVERIC’ (Model Aircraft for Validation and Experimentation of Robust Innovative Controls), [...]
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 [...]
Where to go for America's best wings Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, the chicken wing landed on menus across the country in the 80s and 90s and quickly became one of America's favorite foods. Since then, the humble wing has blossomed from a basic bar & grill appetizer to become the anchor menu [...]
Active winglet manufacturer Tamarack Aerospace Group says it is assembling a “coalition” of airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operators to help offer its technology for retrofit of Airbus A320 narrowbody airliners. Speaking with reporters Oct. 17 at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), Tamarack founder and CEO Nick Guida said his [...]
Singapore Airlines (SIA1) (SINGY) (SIA) and subsidiary Scoot have commenced the use of blended Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on departing flights at Changi Airport. This is also the first time the airlines have incorporated blended SAF into their operations as part of the ‘Singapore pilot’, according to a joint statement released by SIA, the Civil [...]
