Projects by Boom Supersonic, JetZero and Radia promise to deliver what traditional planemakers have failed to do, such as speed, economy and cargo capacity
A blended-wing fuselage aircraft developed by startup JetZero would be capable of refueling six times more than a KC-46, but production challenges remain in making it a reality
Start-up JetZero will receive a contribution of US$ 235 million to build a full-scale prototype of a jet with the concept, capable of reducing fuel consumption by at least 30%.
