ST Engineering MRAS to design Propulsion System Component for JetZero

ST Engineering MRAS, a world-leading manufacturer of complex aerostructures, announced that it has been selected by JetZero to design and manufacture the exhaust nozzle for JetZero’s full-scale all-wing demonstrator, a next-generation aircraft set to redefine aviation. Working in collaboration with JetZero and propulsion systems partners, ST Engineering MRAS will deliver engineering, design and manufacturing expertise for the exhaust nozzle, a key component for the propulsion system, to support the demonstrator's performance and sustainability objectives.

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 meeting the forecasted doubling of passenger demand by 2040 while supporting the industry’s net-zero emission goals by 2050.

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.

ST Engineering MRAS’s comprehensive capabilities in aerostructures and nacelles span integration, design, testing, flight test support and certification. From conceptualization and design to manufacturing, ST Engineering MRAS works closely with engine and aircraft OEMs to optimize the performance of engine nacelles and the overall aircraft’s aerodynamic efficiency. During the manufacturing process, its advanced composites manufacturing technologies and automated systems ensure consistent quality and speed in the production of nacelle components.
