JetZero is a Long Beach-based aerospace startup developing the Z4, the world's first commercial blended wing body (BWB) airliner. The all-wing design eliminates the traditional tube-and-fuselage architecture, enabling up to 50% better fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions than comparable aircraft such as the Boeing 787. The Z4 is designed to carry 250 passengers across a 5,000 nautical mile range, targeting the middle-market segment currently dominated by the 787 and A330. JetZero's full-scale demonstrator, Jet1, is under construction at its Mojave facility and is targeting a maiden flight in late 2027, with the Z4 entering commercial service in the early 2030s. The company is also building a 4.7-billion-dollar manufacturing campus near Greensboro, North Carolina.
