JetZero’s Demonstrator is on track for first-flight in 2027. The Demonstrator is being built in partnership with Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman.

Scaled Composites? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…

Wow, I blinked and it's been 20+ years since Spaceship One? Yikes, time really does fly.

Presumably we haven't heard as much after Northrop bought them?

I think it's awesome that Scaled Composites is involved... they really have such specialized knowledge of all kinds of aeronautical engineering.
