The head of United's futuristic new 250-person plane says it'll be like a 'living room in the sky'
The head of United's futuristic new 250-person plane says it'll be like a 'living room in the sky'

April 26, 2025 • By Taylor Rains

United Airlines plans to buy up to 200 "blended-wing body" aircraft from California-based startup JetZero. The 250-passenger "Z4" aircraft has a unique airframe that combines the wings and fuselage into a single lifting surface, allowing for a wider cabin and more efficient fuel burn. The plane is expected to cut fuel burn by up to 50% per passenger mile and could replace midsize airplanes like the Boeing 757 and 767. United's investment relies on JetZero's ability to prove its design with a full-sized demonstrator by 2027 and meet operational and business requirements. The Z4 aircraft could offer a "living room in the sky" experience with more aisles, entry doors, and revenue-generating spaces. If certified, the aircraft would provide United with a high-range, high-capacity, and cost-effective fleet option.

What are reciprocal tariffs, and what do they mean for the crypto industry?
What are reciprocal tariffs, and what do they mean for the crypto industry?

April 26, 2025 • By Cointelegraph by Bradley Peak

The article discusses reciprocal tariffs and their impact on the crypto industry. Reciprocal tariffs refer to a tit-for-tat strategy in global trade where one country imposes tariffs on another country's goods, and the other country responds with similar tariffs. The US and China have been engaged in a trade war, with the US imposing tariffs on Chinese imports and China retaliating with its own tariffs. The article explains how these tariffs work, using a formula based on trade imbalances to determine tariff rates. It also notes that China's approach is more about strategic retaliation, aiming to create economic and political pressure rather than directly matching tariff rates. The tariffs have had a significant impact on the global economy, with global trade growth slowing down and smaller economies being hit especially hard. The article also discusses the impact of reciprocal tariffs on the crypto industry. The tariffs have made imported mining equipment more expensive, increasing operational costs for US Bitcoin miners. However, the economic uncertainty caused by the trade war has also driven investors to look for safe havens, with crypto becoming an increasingly attractive option. The article concludes that crypto companies need to be aware of policy shifts and trade developments, and that there is an opportunity for crypto to reposition itself as a decentralized, borderless financial alternative in the context of rising global protectionism and economic fragmentation.
