California startup Jetzero develops Z4 flying‑wing jet for early‑2030s market
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Jetzero, a California company founded in 2021 in Long Beach, is developing a civil flying‑wing jet called the Z4 that is expected to enter the market in the early 2030s.
- The Z4 merges wing and fuselage to reduce fuel consumption, lower costs, cut emissions, increase passenger and cargo space and could be quieter than conventional aircraft, while Airbus previously examined a similar flying‑wing concept for its zero‑emissions program but later abandoned it, and China’s CARDC is working on a large flying‑wing model for an 800‑passenger aircraft.
