During Siemens' press conference at CES 2025, a partnership between Siemens and aviation startup JetZero was announced to design a sustainable blended-wing aircraft. JetZero's focus on sustainable air travel aligns with Siemens' provision of a digital platform for the aircraft's development. JetZero plans to utilize the Siemens Xcelerator platform for designing, manufacturing, and operating the aircraft, aiming to incorporate electrification and digitalization in its processes. By leveraging digital twin technology, JetZero aims to virtually simulate its aircraft and manufacturing operations for risk mitigation and process optimization. The blended-wing aircraft aims to enhance fuel efficiency, reduce noise, and achieve zero carbon emissions by 2035, potentially utilizing hydrogen or other green alternatives. JetZero's partnership with Siemens and focus on digital innovation and sustainability has garnered positive support, including from the U.S. Air Force for potential military applications.
