Siemens’ software selects JetZero BWB aircraft concept, unveiling new Xcelerator updates

JetZero, an aviation startup, has chosen Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Xcelerator platform to develop, produce, and operate its blended wing aircraft, which aims to achieve 50% fuel efficiency improvement, noise reduction, and zero carbon emissions by 2035. Siemens’ Industrial Copilot for Operations will be integrated with the Industrial Edge ecosystem to enhance human-machine collaboration and accelerate development times. JetZero plans to build a “Factory of the Future” using Siemens’ automation hardware, software, and services, and will use digital twins to simulate the manufacturing process virtually. Siemens’ software products have been proven in other composites aerospace and mobility applications, such as Airbus Group Innovations, Composites Innovation Centre Manitoba Inc., and Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH. During CES, Siemens showcased its commitment to enabling startups and companies of all sizes to use its industrial metaverse technologies through its Siemens for Startups program.
