JetZero has raised $175 million in Series B funding, bringing its total funding to over $1 billion, to develop the Z4 blended-wing aircraft prototype, which aims for its first flight by late 2027. Designed for 250 passengers with a range of 5,000 nautical miles, the Z4 seeks to enhance fuel efficiency by 50% compared to traditional aircraft, with support from major partners including United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Additionally, JetZero has secured a $235 million contract with the US Air Force for an early version of the aircraft.
