Thales to empower JetZero's innovative eco-friendly aircraft

With a full-scale demonstrator being planned for 2027, the innovative aircraft requires a reliable flight control system to ensure a safe and smooth flight. Field-proven for over 40 years and installed on board more than 12 000 aircraft, Thales’s Fly-by-Wire flight control solution is perfectly suited to JetZero’s needs.

The Fly-by-Wire system, which calculates and adjusts the position of the aircraft's control surfaces, is a critical element of flight safety. Thales pioneered Fly-by-Wire solutions and has remained at the forefront of innovation, growing to become one of the world’s largest supplier of flight control solutions.

Today, Thales and JetZero are opening up a new chapter of aviation history towards greener flights while capitalising on proven experience to ensure uncompromising safety.

Thales's Fly-by-Wire flight control systems offer substantial benefits in terms of flight safety, aircraft performance, reliability and availability. Those benefits encompass flight envelope protection, reduced pilot workload, minimised aircraft weight, improved handling qualities and reliability.

“Actively engaged in a low carbon future, Thales is proud to support JetZero in their innovative pursuit of net zero flights. Our proven flight controls solution is the perfect fit for a disruptive aircraft paving the way for a sustainable future in aviation,” said Yanik Doyon, VP Business Development and Sales North America, Flight Avionics activities at Thales.
