Spaghettién in development they seek a better passenger experience so they will buildá a large-scale demonstrator to validate BWB performance.
new planes, less emissions
As the tráI'm theéreo grows at a projected rate of 3,6 annual percent, the decarbonización of the industry it turns toún más challenging. The global airline fleet is projected toíneas almost doubled to 47,700 planes for 2041, themselvesún Cirium, a signature ofáaviation lysisón.
JetZero aircraft can performñplay an essential role in the reductionón carbon footprint of the industry, by ello the JetZero demo, the first of a proposed family of BWB aircraft, uses current engines and systems. the grandfatherómixed wing body n, a designñor that has been under study by the NASA and others for three daysérock, if it lends itself to conversionón in the future to the propulsionón of hydrógeno, what to produceízero carbon emissions.
Sayún the tséterms of the awardón of the Innovation UnitóNo. of Defense of the Department of Defense, JetZero receiveá $235 million over a periodíear from four toños, culminating in the first flight of the full-scale demonstrator for the first quarter of 2027.
JetZero isá collaborating with Northrop Grumman y Scaled Composites, who bring extensive experience in designñor advanced aircraft, manufacturingón e integrationónumber of missile systemsón to build and test the full-scale demonstrator. And Je Zero has selected Pratt engines & Whitney GTF™ to feed the display, con Pratt & Whitney GATORWORKS supporting JetZero with the designñor and integrationón of the propulsion systemón inside the demonstrator.
JetZero isá leading efforts to expand technologyíto BWB and demonstrate its capabilities for the future of aviationón and climate for military and commercial markets.
