ST Engineering MRAS has been selected to design and manufacture the exhaust nozzle for JetZero’s full-scale blended wing demonstrator aircraft, a next-generation platform set to redefine sustainable aviation.
JetZero’s demonstrator will validate revolutionary technologies that aim to reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions by up to 50%. It represents a significant advancement in the aviation industry’s path toward net-zero emissions by 2050.
Working in collaboration with JetZero and propulsion systems partners Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace, ST Engineering MRAS will provide a key component for the propulsion system, delivering engineering, design, and manufacturing expertise to support the demonstrator’s performance and sustainability objectives.
“We are proud to join the JetZero program and contribute to a project that is shaping the future of flight,” said Mitch Smith, Vice President of Operations at ST Engineering MRAS. “This opportunity reflects our continued commitment to advanced engineering, sustainability, and delivering solutions that enable the next era of aerospace innovation.”
The demonstrator aircraft is scheduled to begin flight testing in 2027. In addition to commercial applications, the platform is expected to support future military and cargo aircraft development.
The announcement follows JetZero’s official statement in March 2025 detailing partnerships with RTX’s Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace for the propulsion system. ST Engineering MRAS now joins other prominent suppliers to the program, including BAE Systems and Woodward.
