Natilus Unveils Horizon Passenger Aircraft

Natilus has introduced the Horizon, its first passenger aircraft designed to transform air travel with a blended-wing-body (BWB) structure that enhances aerodynamic efficiency. The Horizon can carry 200 passengers and aims to cut emissions by 50% while consuming 30% less fuel compared to conventional aircraft like the Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320. This innovative design offers a 40% increase in interior volume, customizable configurations, and a quieter flight experience, targeting routes like New York to London and Los Angeles to Boston. CEO Aleksey Matyushev emphasizes that the Horizon will not only improve operational economics for airlines but also contribute to sustainability efforts in commercial aviation. With airlines expected to face increased demand and pressure for greener solutions, Natilus positions itself to fill a critical gap in the market. The Horizon is projected to enter service in the early 2030s, aligning with industry shifts towards net-zero targets.
