Industry veteran and aerospace innovator Rob Dewar has joined the board of directors of blended wing body aircraft developer JetZero.
"I could not be more excited to join JetZero and help bring the blended wing body (BWB) to market," said Dewar. "I believe in this airplane and its ability to significantly reduce the industry's environmental footprint and operating costs. There is no doubt it will change the future of aviation."
JetZero cofounder and CEO Tom O'Leary commented on Dewar's appointment: "Rob is really the best possible person to join this board having just engineered the last great product launch in the industry with the CSeries/A220. His skill and experience is the perfect fit for our team as we look to deliver the future everyone wants for aviation."
Dewar most recently as senior vice president and general manager of the Airbus A220 aircraft program. Initially known as the CSeries for Bombardier, Dewar led the team responsible for fully defining, developing, certifying and delivering the airplane to market.
