Archive note: This article covered plans announced in 2018 by Zunum Aero and JetSuite. Delivery dates, order quantities, test schedules, specifications, emissions estimates, airport access, operating costs, and service concepts in that announcement were projections, not current charter capabilities.
The original announcement described a possible hybrid-electric regional aircraft and an agreement involving future aircraft. It also presented targets for passenger capacity, range, speed, runway use, fuel consumption, emissions, and delivery timing. Those targets have been removed from the current summary because an announced design goal is not the same as a certified aircraft specification or an operating service.
When evaluating an emerging aircraft program, distinguish among a concept, prototype, type certification, production approval, delivery, operator authorization, and bookable service. Current performance and environmental claims also need stated assumptions, an identified measurement method, and a current primary source.
This archive does not represent that a Zunum aircraft is certified, delivered, offered by Jet Partners, or available for charter.
