Aerospace Startup JetZero to Start Building Futuristic Planes in North Carolina
Aerospace company JetZero for years has been pitching a spacious, fuel-efficient commercial airplane of the future. Now, the startup is going to actually build it.
The Long Beach, Calif.-based company said it would break ground next year on a manufacturing plant in Greensboro, N.C., ultimately investing nearly $5 billion. The factory will employ more than 14,500 workers, the company said, making it North Carolina's largest-ever jobs announcement. It puts JetZero on track to start rolling out its space-age looking, blended-wing airplanes for commercial use by 2032.
