HEXCEL promotes a strategic partnership with Jetzero through the FAA (almost) FAA that qualifies the qualifying composite materials for Jonnero's all-wing design aircraft development program.
“Our partnership and collaboration with Jucko are a commitment to aerial and space innovation,” said Stacey Reiersgaard, Vice President, customer busine teams from Hexcel. “We accelerate the development of light composite materials that are well suited for a mixed wing aircraft design that redefines the future of sustainable aviation.”
According to the FAA, the fast program should “demonstrate innovative composite manufacturing technologies that can support advanced non-cylindrical pressure vessels with unprecedented production rates”.
Jetzero is developing the Z4, the world's first commercial aircraft for design. This design creates a greater buoyancy and reduces air resistance, which leads to better fuel efficiency of up to 50% than with comparable size and wing aircraft. The body of the all-wing is wider and shorter than pipe and wing aircraft, whereby four inner cabins with their own gear and their dedicated overhead container square belong.
“Hexcel was an important partner in our efforts to develop and find an aircraft that significantly reduces fuel consumption and the associated emissions,” said Kevin Brauning, head of the structures, itch. “During our collaboration, Hexcel continuously demonstrated the technical expertise for flexible composite material solutions and a commitment to sustainable aviation.”
According to Brauning, according to Brauning, the comprehensive portfolio of hexceles comprehensive carbon fiber and hardzing fusion technology and the technological leadership in advanced aviation materials led to the selection of the company as the provider of composite materials for the structural demonstration of the all-wing design aircraft.
“The research and development already in progress enables us to evaluate various advanced composite materials and manufacturing technologies in order to optimize the design and performance of aircraft,” said Brauning. “This collaborative approach with Hexcel accelerates our technological evaluation and development of the next generation Z4 platform.”
“It is an honor for us to have been selected by jackets for these development efforts,” said Reiersgaard. “As a vertically integrated provider of Advanced Composites Solutions in Germany, Hexcel is uniquely positioned to support the critical transition of the aerospace industry in the direction of fuel efficient and environmental representative.”
