Jekta has unveiled new images of a 1:9 scale model of its PHA-ZE 100 zero-emission amphibious aircraft, currently being used to collect flight and water-test data representative of the full-scale design. The model closely reflects the final configuration, featuring an eight-motor distributed electric propulsion system, advanced aerodynamics and large cockpit and cabin windows. Testing is underway in Italy, under the supervision of Head of Design Max Pinucci, and is helping validate and refine digital simulations as the program progresses toward certification. With more than USD 1.35 billion in confirmed customer commitments, the PHA-ZE 100 continues its path toward production, planned for 2030/2031.
