FAA backs flight tests of JetZero’s top-mounted engines

JetZero has been awarded $5.3 million from the FAA for a fourth phase project focused on flight testing its innovative aircraft design featuring top-mounted engines. This funding supports the ongoing development of the company's technology, which aims to significantly reduce takeoff distances and improve operational efficiency for commercial aviation. The selection follows previous phases of research and development conducted in collaboration between JetZero and the FAA. These tests will be carried out at an undisclosed location, marking a crucial step towards potentially transforming future air travel capabilities. The FAA’s investment underscores confidence in JetZero’s approach to aerospace engineering and its potential impact on the industry.
