Airlines are placing orders today for the passenger aircraft of tomorrow. Prototypes of the all-wing Z4 from Long Beach, California-based JetZero and the hybrid-electric ES-30 from Heart Aerospace have left the drawing boards and are in testing.

Production of the 250-seat Z4 will take place in a new facility on a site at Piedmont Triad International (PTI) Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, JetZero announced on June 12.
