Aircraft program
200-plus passenger, commercial-military blended wing body aircraft. Initially powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, then switchd to PW2000. Funded by U.S. DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit, and includes possible tanker variant: KC-Z4. Formerly JetZero BWB Demonstrator.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Notable technologies — each tag names a technology on our research record for this aircraft, with its fitting status: Primary, Standard, Option or Planned.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
