Delta Air Lines is backing JetZero's development of a blended-wing-body aircraft to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and noise by up to 50%. JetZero will join Delta's Sustainable Skies Lab incubator, gaining operational expertise. The startup aims to test a demonstrator in 2027, eventually carrying up to 250 passengers. This aligns with Delta's goal of carbon neutrality and 95% sustainable aviation fuel use by 2050.
