JetZero prepares the Z4, a fuselage-wing aircraft that consumes half the fuel

▲ The startup JetZero is developing the Z4, a fuselage-wing commercial aircraft project that will be able to carry up to 250 passengers over a distance of 9,200 kilometers, with 45 percent less fuel consumption than a similar current aircraft. According to the schedule, a full-size prototype will fly in 2027, and certification and entry into service are expected by 2030. United Airlines is part of the investment in the project, with the possibility of ordering up to 200 aircraft. In addition, the United States Air Force has awarded JetZero a $235 million contract to accelerate the development of its commercial version. Photo: AFP
