Interns will support key functional areas including Finance, Investor Relations, or Marketing by contributing to meaningful projects and collaborating with experienced professionals. Responsibilities involve tasks such as financial modeling, market research, content creation, and supporting strategic initiatives within the aerospace industry.

JetZero, co-founded by aerospace legend Mark Page and start-up veteran Tom O'Leary, is developing the world’s first commercial all wing airplane. With up to 50% lower fuel burn and carbon emissions compared to existing commercial airliners, JetZero’s Z4 will offer the aviation industry a clear path to achieving its 2050 net-zero goals while reducing operating costs *and* elevating the passenger experience.
Working alongside the US Air Force, NASA, and the FAA, and backed by decades of investment and research into blended wing technology, JetZero looks to enter commercial service by 2030.
What is JetZero?
Today’s aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars. This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
JetZero is developing a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft. It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion. JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.
The JetZero Team
We are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future. That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people’s lives: carbon-free flight that' is better for both passengers and airlines around the world.
