Jet Zero has broken ground on what the broadcast described as an 8 million-square-foot manufacturing and final-assembly campus on more than 600 acres in Greensboro.
The company will produce the Z4 aircraft at the site, the FYI Weekly report said. The Z4 was described as a next-generation airliner with roughly 250-passenger capacity, a range up to 5,000 nautical miles and up to 50% improved fuel efficiency. Jet Zero also is designing military variants of the model, including aerial-refueler and transport versions, the broadcast said.
The city segment said the project is expected to create 14,000 jobs over the next decade. The report described the all-wing design as offering doubled range or payload for military configurations when used as a refueler.
The segment did not provide a company timeline for phased hiring, tax incentives, or local subsidy details; those items should be confirmed via official city economic-development releases and Jet Zero communications.
