Altair's Technology and Jetzero's unique blending wing planes unite to reconstruct the future of aviation
Troy, Michigan., March 20, 2025 / prnewswire/ – altair (NASDAQ:ALTR) is a global leader in computing intelligence and a company specializing in the development of the world's first commercial blendwing aircraft, Jetzero joins its efforts to drive next-generation aerospace innovation. Blendwing planes promise to deliver fuel efficiency, greater range, lighter and more aerodynamic design than traditional passenger aircraft. With its plane-only design, Jetzero estimates that fuel consumption and associated emissions have been reduced by up to 50%. Jetzero uses it altair®FlightStream™ – Part of altair®HyperWorks® Design and Simulation Platform – Run advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to reduce computational costs, streamline innovation and time to market.
“altair “We are delighted that Jetzero, a true pioneer in today's aerospace world, is leveraging our simulations and AI technology to drive limiting plane designs.” Pietro CervelellaSenior Vice President of Aerospace and Defense; altair. “Jetzero's vision is to rebuild aviation to guide a more efficient and more sustainable aerospace industry. We share this same vision. Today, there is no better technology portfolio to accelerate design, reduce complexity and expand the boundaries of aerospace. Altair's. ”
“I'll use Jetzero altair “Because technology helps us fulfill our mission to make our biggest leap in aviation since the dawn of the jet age.” Tom O'Learyco-founder and CEO, Jetzero. “There are FlightStream and other tools altair Portfolio, our team needs to be able to run simulations on a large accelerated time frame and simplify and transform the industry. Z4 planes are inevitable altair It helps shape the future of aviation. ”
altair The solution helps the gap between Jetzero Bridge bridge bridge biggent for High-Fichity CFD simulation and engineering, allowing Jetzero to solve conceptual and preliminary design challenges with aerodynamic surfaces and structures faster and more efficiently than other solvers. FlightStream's unparalleled calculation speed and low hardware footprint (combined with a streamlined user interface and robust aerodynamic solver) make it a valuable tool for rapid early stage design iterations and detailed aerodynamic research.
Jetzero is also a member of the Altair Aerospace Startup Acceleration Program (ASAP). As soon as possible, Jetzero gains flexible access at an affordable price Altair's The entire portfolio of simulation, data analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including solutions for conducting internal noise research.
Blended wing aircraft differ from traditional tube and wing designs in that the aircraft wings are blended seamlessly with the body, allowing all body surfaces to produce lift and minimize drag. The wider body also increases the interior space, enhancing the passenger experience and maximizes the payload of cargo ship variants. The mixing wing body is a more efficient construction, reducing weight and noise compared to traditional aircraft designs. With the engine mounted on the top back, engine noise is directed upwards during takeoff and landing, reducing noise in the community adjacent to the airport. Jetzero is expected to achieve its first full-scale flight of design in 2027.
