☆ This new 'blended-wing' plane looks like a military stealth bomber and just got the green light to fly after decades of development

California aerospace startup JetZero got the green light to fly its new "Pathfinder" aircraft. The composite technology makes this new load bearing possible, Bragg told BI. "The product is essentially a new airframe and flight controls married to existing systems already certified for commercial flight," JetZero told BI. And most of those 200+ passengers would be in the middle section without a window, which Bragg told BI could put off travelers. Later, American aircraft industrialist and designer Jack Northrop built his famous "Flying Wing" aircraft in the 1940s, laying the framework for the eventual B-2 bomber.

“That is a staggering leap forward in comparison to what the industry is used to.”A rendering of JetZero's blended wing design. American aircraft designer and industrialist Jack Northrop created a jet-powered flying wing design in 1947, which inspired the B-2 in the 1990s. NASAIn 2020, Airbus built a small blended wing demonstrator, about six feet in length, signaling interest in pursuing a full-size aircraft in the future. Similarly, JetZero wants to simultaneously develop three variants: a passenger plane, a cargo plane and a fuel tanker. “Extensive aerodynamic testing and optimization are essential to fully realize the drag reduction potential of this innovative aircraft design.

Joe Axline bought land in a private airport in Texas and two retired jets to create his dream home. He renovated the 60-foot body of a McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jet into a three-bed home. The second plane, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, has a refurbished 1970s cockpit. "I thought that was pretty awesome," Axline told Insider. Axline told Insider he had about $250,000 in savings he was willing to spend on what he dubbed "Project Freedom."
