Delta Air Lines partners with startup on sustainable aircraft design
"It’s critical we also work with a variety of partners to advance revolutionary technologies."
Delta Air Lines is working with California startup JetZero on a new aircraft design that could bring up to 50% fuel savings, dramatically reducing flight emissions.
JetZero has designed a blended-wing-body aircraft that it aims to commercialise by 2030. It received a grant from the US Air Force in 2023 to support the development of a full-scale demonstrator for first flight in 2027, and will now get operational expertise from Delta to bring this project to life.
