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

SMRTR summary

JetZero, partnering with Siemens and Northrop Grumman, is developing a "blended wing body" passenger jet that merges wings and fuselage. This design could reduce drag by 30% and fuel consumption by 50% compared to traditional airliners, while offering more space and lower noise. The concept is compatible with sustainable fuels and potential hydrogen power.

JetZero plans its first test flight by 2027 and commercial service by 2030. Siemens will assist in creating a "Factory of the Future" for production, while collaboration with Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force has produced a smaller prototype calle
