May 5, 2025, \u00a9 Leeham News<\/strong>: JetZero, the start-up company developing commercial aviation\u2019s first passenger Blended Wing Body (BWB) airplane, is gearing up to seek private equity funding for billions of dollars needed to bring its aircraft to market.<\/p>\n

In a media day on Friday, executives and staff briefed reporters on progress to date, production work on the first full-size demonstrator aircraft, technical details and studies continuing an production plans.<\/p>\n

Officials expect to announce a site selection for its final assembly plant in the coming weeks, before the Paris Air Show that begins in mid-June.<\/p>\n

JetZero\u2019s airliner is dubbed the Z4. It\u2019s nominally a 250-passenger, 5,000nm design for the so-called Middle of the Market currently occupied by out-of-production and aging Boeing 767-300ERs, Airbus A330-200s and a limited number of Boeing 757s. Entry-into-service is targeted for the \u201cearly 2030s.\u201d The first flight of the demonstrator aircraft is planned for 2027.<\/p>\n

JetZero has an ambitious goal for producing the composite aircraft. The final assembly site, for which the company has down-selected the finalists, will be on a 1,000 acre site with a building about the size of Boeing\u2019s widebody plant in Everett (WA). Boeing\u2019s Everett site is somewhat larger than 1,000 acres.<\/p>\n

JetZero is planning for a monthly production rate of 20 five years after production begins. The company has hundreds of conditional orders from major airlines.<\/p>\n

Daunting tasks remain in the coming years. Among them: there is currently no engine commitment for the airplane; a product support system is needed; finalizing the method to product the composite airplane; \u201cflying\u201d the iron bird; and much more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
