COLORADO SPRINGS—Blended wing body (BWB) developer JetZero has received an airworthiness certificate from the FAA for its 12.5% scaled demonstrator, clearing the uncrewed twin-engine aircraft for the start of flight tests at Edwards AFB, California.
Dubbed the “Pathfinder,” the 23-ft.-wingspan aircraft will be used to evaluate flight controls and the operability of the vehicle’s novel articulating nose leg–a key feature differentiating the JetZero design from other BWB concepts.
