Airbus, JetZero, and 
Boeing’s Aurora Flight Sciences are three companies working on developing blended wing designs for the next generation of commercial and military tanker/transport fleets. Aurora is designing a demonstrator X-plane using fan-in-wing technology that will provide vertical lift for US airborne logistics without needing a prepared runway ( the project was previously revealed earlier in the year). This is a separate project from JetZero’s blended wing demonstrator intended as a military transport and refueling aircraft.
