After three decades of studies, the BWB will finally become full-scale as JetZero and Scaled Composites ramp up for a multirole U.S. Air Force project.
Neither OEM has plans for new aircraft programs in the next one or two decades where it matters most in terms of emissions reduction—in the long-haul segment.
JetZero says the demonstrator will provide the platform for a mid-market aircraft with capacity for up to 250 passengers and a range of at least 5,000 nm.
