The motion sickness from accelerating diagonally would be unpleasant

imagine if virgin airlines would make a comeback with these, best branding ever

TiredOldParatrooper :
There's a major issue with all of these lifting-body, flying-wing designs, and that's that there are a lot of hurdles with stability, yaw control, elevation control, things that you're missing from having a tail on an aircraft effectively operating as a weather vane behind the aircraft. Flying wings are very prone to a lot of instability issues that are typically being fixed in aircraft like our stealth bombers with active control systems that are constantly intervening to keep the aircraft stable. And that's one thing for a military aircraft with a crew of a couple of people on it. It's another thing for a civilian commercial aircraft to be a fundamentally, inherently unstable airframe that's dependent on electrical fly-by-wire systems. I don't know, with current electrical and computer systems, if you can ever have one of these be at a level of dependability and redundancy, given its dependence on the flight-control systems, to ever be a commercially viable aircraft for passenger travel. And yes, I actually am an aeronautical engineer, although I don't work in that field any longer. That's where my career started. And this has always been one of the fundamental issues with the flying-wing or blended-wing lifting-body combinations. It really seems like these companies that are pushing for it for capacity reasons brush over the inherent... I don't want to say "dangers"... but certainly the inherent elevated risks of these types of airframes.

one step closer to fallout planes LMAO

Engines should be at the bottom of the wing.

Hope Jet Zero works out.

They also have a massive contract with the US Air Force for new cargo planes

Would love to see one in my lifetime and fly on them.

Unfettered :
They’re working with scaled composites on a demonstrator. Scaled composites, like a handful of other companies, is amazing at building limited production demonstrators that turn out to be impossible to scale into production. JetZero is pretty well known in the industry to be vastly underfunded for the technical infrastructure that they need to build to support a part 25 production line. The $4.7B MIGHT be able to pay for that facility if they don’t end up having to completely retool it after they get into building the fatigue and static test models and test facilities and running ground test before they get into certification flight test… but that’s not even enough to fund an aircraft development program in the current certification environment.

And what catastrophic failures were taken into consideration?

i wonder what kind of bend tolerance the wing beans would have for such a shape.

Flight tests involve stall actions as well. If one engine goes out, how does it perform?

Loading requires precise weighing cargo, passengers & control of fuel tank use. Center of gravity must be balanced at all times!

Flutter modes will kill you... avoid transonic... with margin you fly at M.8 at best... add 2 hours for boarding/unboarding & this is one of the dumbest ideas

How would it work on a down or up turn? It would be limited in the amount of degrees it could turn without severely tipping ppl over and have things flying all over the place
