Aerospace Natilus has revealed its plans for the efficient Horizon Blended Wing Body aircraft (BWB).
Natilus is a passenger and cargo plane designed to transport 200 passengers from New York to London, producing 50% fewer emissions.
Blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft are more efficient, high-performing, and eco-friendly than traditional tube-and-wing designs, improving fleet operations and helping to protect the planet.
With better fuel efficiency and space for future propulsion systems, BWB aircraft offer a way to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions, addressing aviation’s environmental challenges.
The BWB design reduces aerodynamic drag by removing the standard wing-fuselage connection, allowing the entire body to generate lift.
“At Natilus we develop hyper efficient blended wing aircraft designed to make air travel more sustainable and to improve the economics of commercial aviation. Our family of innovative aircraft deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, higher payloads and work with today’s existing airport infrastructure. ”
