JetZero and SHZ Advanced Technologies are working to adapt the French company’s liquid hydrogen storage and distribution technologies to the BWB configuration.
JetZero has selected Maryland-based ST Engineering MRAS to design and manufacture the exhaust nozzle for its full-scale blended wing body demonstrator.
Pratt & Whitney says the BWB in development by JetZero is an “interesting opportunity” for the potential launch of an updated version of the PW2000, an engine which first entered commercial service on the Boeing 757 in January 1983.
JetZero has secured a propulsion systems agreement with RTX covering its blended-wing-body aircraft’s primary engines, auxiliary power system and nacelles.
Flight Friday examines the Boeing 757's pioneering role in the aviation industry, which broke the mold for using narrowbody aircraft on transatlantic routes.
Mandy Gower, chief commercial officer at mature engine specialist CTS Engines, on its capacity additions and how it is tackling supply chain challenges.
Pratt & Whitney will retrench around 400 jobs—or 20%—of its 2,000 employees in Singapore as demand for engine-related MRO has disappeared amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
