Undetectable, Unstoppable and Utterly Stealthy - JetZero's BWB Aircraft
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2023
- In the realm of aerial warfare, the U.S. Air Force has long been a leader in technological innovation. However, this leadership comes with environmental challenges. As a notable consumer of fossil fuels within the U.S. Department of Defense, the Air Force is now turning its focus toward sustainable aviation solutions.
That's where JetZero comes in. This startup is collaborating with the Air Force to develop a prototype Blended-Wing Body aircraft, a design that could be a game-changer in both military and commercial aviation. The aircraft aims to significantly reduce fuel consumption while potentially extending flight ranges, a crucial factor in modern warfare scenarios.
As the climate crisis continues to escalate and geopolitical tensions with China intensify, the importance of this new aviation technology cannot be overstated. JetZero is not just developing an aircraft; they're working on a solution that could balance military needs with environmental concerns. The prototype could very well set the standard for the next generation of aircraft, both in the military and beyond.

The “dramatic background music” drowns out the narrator on some platforms.
Stupid choice since we come here to hear about the "tech" not listen to canned music.
Needs Battlefield soundtrack.
Music track overwhelming.
Can't even hear him at some points in the video
Yeah I had to crank it up to hear him and it totally drowns out 😂
Background music is 🔥 but next time decrease the volume a bit. It will be helpful for hearing your narration. Superb editing Dark Tech team. 👍🏼👌
Definitely agreed there. It's a lot harder to hear the narration over that music.
I was going to make a plea for moderation in the background music level, but then the very first comment I read was just such a plea. At least I know I'm not just a cantankerous deaf old fool!
Ditto!! (From an 83 year old Brit.) 😎👍🏼
Music is so loud at times that it is quite difficult to hear you talk. :(
Unusually for a "Dark" video, the music is so loud that I can barely make out what is being said.
There is no "dwindling fossil fuel" issue. Just the unwillingness to extract coupled with the stupidity to not enhance nuclear power.
I was actually gonna post some like this. Guyana is even in the news now because they just discovered a HUGE deposit and Venezuela wants a piece.
The general public is clueless to amount of oil located in Africa. It’s considered the next Middle East.
Same with the imaginary climate crisis, total nonsense
"Atoms for Peace" is political cover for atom bombs. It's so filthy and expensive only the biggest governments can subsidize it.
Canada 🇨🇦 is a reservoir of oil, gas and LNG! Only problem is the political will on both sides of the border.
Maybe the Air Force should concern themselves with China instead of the climate
Lol
"You've stolen our dreams! Monster! How dare you!"
The anticipated theater of operations around Taiwan and China necessitates longer range, ergo more sustainable, aircraft designs.

Fuel efficiency IS a huge military advantage. Especially in aircraft. Huge. Range / weight.
Bring the background music down a little bit.😂😂
You might want to re-render this video. The 'background' music stomps on the narration in a few places.
Dude the dramatic music was crazy loud. Juuuust a bit too dramatic ya know?
Being a flying wing doesn't automatically make it Stealthy, those engines with exposed turbine blades will make it stick like a sore thumb to radars.
You’re right. Those canards on the wing tips would stand out as well. Though the fuel efficiency and range is very exciting.
I mean it still has a lower RCS compared to a conventional aircraft, but yeah.
Now we just need airelonless designs using compressed air that he talked about in an other video with a BWB.
Music was too loud this time. Otherwise, same great video as always!
Another "game changer"! 🤣🤣 These days even a pair of pants with extra pockets is a "game changer"! 😂
what is wrong with the sound? can barely hear the narration for the music.
DUDE THE MUSIC IS SO LOUD I HAVE TO TURN ON THE CAPTIONS TO READ WHAT I CAN'T HEAR. SWEET BABY JEBUS.
Yeah, I bet the enemy trembles in irrational fear in the knowledge that our newest aircraft is net zero….
Background music overwhelms the narration. Remix in order.
As usual music is too loud and you can't hear the commentary
2:59 Anyone else have a flashback when Cmdr. Chakotay spoke of “Dreadnaught?!”
I’m actually watching Voyager now 😂
I know RUclips creators think that adding music enhances the production value. If it's balanced in volume I guess it's harmless, but in this video it's just a nuisance. BTW, there's no rule that you cannot edit and report a deficient video.
The background music is so loud that I could barely hear the narrator.
No stupid red arrow on your thumbnail! Excellent, well done you guys
music isn't loud enough. I can still hear the dialogue.
As always a fascinating and well researched/presented video. One request is look at how the backing track drowns out the audio in places esp in the first couple of minutes. Outside of that adore your work
Yes the music is so loud it smothers the audio….
Glad someone brought that up (audio track overpowered narration). And I also agree with the enjoyment of watching these videos.
Never knew a blended wing body had a shorter take-off and landing distance. It mysterious ly looks like the Boeing 797 concept. Two difficulties in creating a passenger airliner are its shape is difficult & difficult to calculate a pressurized fuselage and the width is so wide that it is hard to evacuate passengers from in the required FAA time limit. Boeing always kept it on the back burner as a cargo only jetliner. If the military decides in favor of it; then a cargo jetliner is going to come next. A blended winged passenger liner is some distance away from reality.
Yeah, the evacuation standard is a deal breaker. The surface to volume ratio is simply too low to mount the needed exits.
As a cargo plane it has potential, especially since that would avoid the other deal breaker of having to rebuild every airport in the world.
We could even hear the commentary, if it weren't for the unreasonably loud and epic music.
That background music made me think: "I should check the comments..."
PLEASE tell me you are not also starting with those clickbait thumbnails putting SciFi planes in where they have no business being!
Your videos are good enough to not need that!
why does the music have to be so loud that I can't hear what you are saying?
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks for bringing this to our attention and explaining the concept behind it…
The audio mix doesn't work. Music overwhelms the narration. You need to remix your audio.
yeah cant hear you over the music way to well not helping is all ill say
What's the difference between a "lift body"design and this BWB? An for that matter the "flying wing" design!?!
Why wasn't the Northrop yb49 included here?
The background audio on this one over powers.
Blended wing bodies will be a hard if not impossible sell in commercial passenger aviation because of the theatre style seating and lack of windows.
The Junkers G38 of the 20s/30s had windows in the leading edge. Once big problem is that when these aircraft bank and if you are a passenger at the wing tip you will experience motion and maybe motion sickness.
Sounds like an ideal tool moving into our totalitarian future
I suggest you also analyze the work of Vincent Justus Burnelli, an American aerospace engineer, inventor and visionary.
As far as BWB is concerned, SR-71, F-15, B-1, B-2, B-21, F-22 and even F-117 are various embodiements of this concept, although not optimized for fuel economy, but rather for speed/payload/stealth. Many X-planes also fit this description.
Wayne Industries has takenn the lead on next generation airframes.
Airline companies are not willing to sacrifice the number of available gates to accommodate the footprints of a BWB airliners. Many of the airports that these companies use cannot expand. The cities next to these ports have over the years have eventually engulfed these airports, thus restricting the expansion. It's also obvious that no airline company will willingly give up gates when there is a queue on the taxiway for gates. (It's about frequency, not just capacity/aircraft.)
4:13 Looks about as close to the “Batwing” in the first Batman movie in 1989 as any real aircraft ever has (but with propellers obviously)
Music so loud i litterly cant hear you, please drop the music with nonfiction
I like how youtube slapped a "Context" warning to your video, explaining climate change, just because you mentioned the word. These alarmists are getting more and more fragile by the day lol
Music covers the narration in places. Great piece, though.
What are the considerations given to help prevent air sickness? Is the angle of bank made when the plane is turning will be considerable? And you are off-center because you're no longer in the cylinder.😮
No it's basically the same
Bra, the soundtrack is louder than the speaker...
great video
Brits invented the delta wing with embedded engines in the 1940's - Why mount the engines ABOVE a wing makes no sense for stealth The AVTO Vulcan bomber had the radar signature of a seagull.
Not just airports, but also building and assembling such wide "bodies" in an assembly building.
I suspect that more assembly will be done at each station.
The soundtrack was so loud at times, I could not hear your voice well enough to comprehend what was being said.
Could that bird become the first ever environmentally friendly aircraft that can drop nukes???? What will they think of next?
revolutionary.. the flying wing has been a staple part of the US air force for nearly 100 years! 😅
Ditto to @mike4480 and a question. Why isn't vectored thrust envisioned for the military models? Commercial aircraft would not need it but the military versions might benefit greatly from thrust vectoring for increased maneuverability.
I’m assuming the model we see in the video is only really meant to be a larger aircraft for things like cargo transport/fueling, electronic warfare, early warning radar, etc. Those planes don’t really need to maneuver super hard, and even if they did it would likely overload the wings. Those things are super thin, and I have a hard time imaging they’d hold up too well in high G maneuvers.
Interesting thought, but the weight and wasted energy compromises for thrust vectoring would negate the aerodynamic advantages of a BWB or flying wing. Also something to consider, BWB and flying wings are inherently unstable around the vertical axis, and thrust vectoring would exacerbate that on a platform where stability is desired, unlike fighter aircraft.
Please turn down the background music in post production. Around minute 3 I could not hear you over the music.
The commercial passenger BWB concept suffers from having exceptionally long evacuation times during emergency. Until emergency evacuation times can get down to the tube and wing standard, the BWB will not be used for commercial passenger transport.
Ditch the conflicting "music" please
The lifting body, blended wing with top mounted engines is very interesting.
Would make it completely silent on approach wouldn't hear it until the aircraft has already passed.
Are you kidding? Sound travels out in every direction from its source. The only way you wouldn't hear it coming is if it were supersonic. Then you'd hear something! Besides, the sky has a roaring sound all day and into the evening from jet traffic.
@@floycewhite6991, lol. No. That's not even close to true. A vast majority of the energy and sound is directed out the back of a jet engine.
You've never been to an airshow and seen a B2 fly by? You'll have a similar effect. You hear nothing until it goes by. The sound is largely blocked from body of the plane and directed up.
NASA is currently looking to use this same technique to reduce the severity of sonic booms from supersonic aircraft.
Leaving a smooth clean bottom and putting the engines on top of the aircraft shifts regions for shock wave formation to the top directing those Shockwaves up.
An experiment for you...
Stand in front of a wall and yell at it...
Does the sound go through the wall or back at you making you feel wrong.
Agree that engine noise and exhaust noise will be mostly deflected upwards. Modern turbofan engines create a high velocity air flow around the exhaust that shrouds and contains most exhaust noise unless you are directly behind it. In a nose high attitude, those noise levels can still be a problem in climb out and landing.@@getinthespace7715
@@getinthespace7715 I suppose you forgot that, because of decades of government regulations, jet engines are designed to spread noise across the whole spectrum, and fool your ears into believing they're less noisy.
Sometimes the music you choose drowns out the voiceover.
The music was a little too loud this time. But love your stuff!
The sound and background music production in this video is very harsh and poorly done. Love the channel just heads up. Seems unusual for you guys.
Good grief, I'm not willing to turn the volume off and watch with subtitles.
Lower the music volume, dude.
4:53 When this was created, 20% fuel savings wasn’t as important as is today, fuel was cheap, now it’s absolutely not.
Nice topic however the audio mixing is off as the ambient track is far too loud - unbareable i'm afraid
Any maintenance on this thing will cost astronomical numbers
Once again, the background music is too loud and over-powers the narration. Not sure why this continues to be an issue in your latest videos...just test ahead of time and get this resolved!
That's a big ass airplane
Judging by the schematic lol. 390' ha
Just fit a couple of Tesla Model S onthem and you fixed theproblem Ad solarpanels and you transform the"solar power into combat power" as a famous VP said a while ago
"Background " music made it near impossible to hear the narrator!
Please turn up the back ground music, I could almost hear the narrator! Lol
The Moonbat was improved upon.
Lost me at climate crisis.
same here.
Cool content, but that volume on the backing track is a bit much…
Can’t make out the commentary over the music!
one of the biggest things that holds back technological innovation in modern products is that producers have to take into account the added cost to the consumer to change existing infrastructure to be compatible with the new developed tech in regards to this vid that would be the required changes to actual airports lick boarding gate redesign manufacturers know that airline companies wont want a plane that can not dock using the dame boarding gates that all other passenger aircraft use because this would limit them to only flying to new airports or those willing to spend the money to upgrade to accommodate the aircraft this wouldnt be a big deal if there was only one airline company and they owned all airports in the world but that isnt the case and all airports would need to agree to an across the board upgrade weather it be with or without financial help from airline companies this is the main reason large passenger jet evolution has stagnated for over half a century their form has remained unchanged for well over 70 years even though military aircraft have been consistently evolving in form to keep pace with new technological developments i doubt without governmental regulation and international agreements to force the adoption of this tech that we will see its widespread implementation and its full benefits in our lifetime
Too loud background music
I know they’re perfecting the rotating detonation jet engine. I want to see what the future birds look like that can go Mach 5 or more.
Trixie's helicopter.
Until they can come up with the materials that can take the heat of hypersonic flight over a long period we may be waiting a while. Its ok for missiles that only have to fly once and only for an hour at most, but a reusable aircraft is much harder.
Background music is too loud on this one.
Music is a bit too loud.
The music in this video is far too loud 😮
Let's have low emission planes drop explosive devices
The background Music is to load, and we have a lot of fosil fuel
The Air Force is in the lead in Cutting Edge technology and also in wasting large sums of money
We) yeah, it's 200 billion dollars but it gets great mileage.
CAN Y'ALL PLAY THE MUSIC LOUDER
you forgot the Horton 229.
A mere oversight, I'm sure. I'll fill in the blanks. A revolutionary aircraft of which only one was completed that killed its test pilot on the third flight. Some consider it to be the first "stealth" aircraft, but any reduction in RCS was accidental and mostly to do with being a flying wing. Beautiful to look at but poorly engeneered. The Horten brothers fled to Argentina near VE Day and spent the rest of their lives trying to convince anyone who would listen to invest in their continued work towards a supersonic flying wing, which is as ludicrous as it sounds.
fascinating display of techs, though we can see it, so it's there and not stealthed exactly!?
Why does Ji Jing Pi always look disappointed
Great reporting but the back noise has to go
Dont they have a larger cross sectional area when compared to a flying pencil with the maximum aspect ratio? Surely a maximum stretch of a fuselage is the best way to improve efficiency in relation to drag. I only see this as relevant in planes that have to be small, maybe a c130 replacement or smaller. Maybe not even that big. Its the reason they say the celera 500l is only scalable up to a certain size, i thought.
Music is WAY too loud
The background music keeps overriding the voiceover, making parts of this too annoying to watch.
Anybody else feel like the audio engineer accidentally put the speaking track as the background and the music/effect track at the forefront? I've watched a bunch of the channel's videos over the years and don't recall being annoyed like this on the others.
The already proven eco fuels by the military would slash that use not just for them but the average citizen. The rearchitectering of airports is a jobs program as well where Co2 reduction in materials would also help the climate issues.
Are you working with Christopher Nolan lately on your video production?
Turn down the "background" music. It's drowning you out
Music too loud can't hear the voice over !
Interesting topic but the blaring background music ruins it all…unwatchable.
neat
Time to dial back the music a tad, its a doc, not a rave. The levels make you hars to hear
