Otto Aviation has revealed the development of its new Phantom 3500 transonic passenger airplane. In it, engineers have abandoned traditional windows in favor of a sleeker fuselage. This futuristic design not only improves aerodynamics, but also reduces drag and fuel consumption.

Unlike conventional aircraft whose windows compromise the integrity of the hull and add weight, the Phantom 3 500 uses seamless carbon fiber surfaces. Instead of portholes, passengers will be able to enjoy the view through screens located on the sides and ceiling of the cabin.

According to the developers' estimates, this innovation will save up to 35% of fuel at the initial stage of operation, and in the future - up to 50%. In addition, this solution will help to cope with the problem of claustrophobia and provide a wider view than traditional windows with the size of 27.2 x 46.7 cm.

The aircraft will be able to reach transonic speeds (from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2) and cover a distance of up to 5,926 kilometers. Its cruising altitude is 15,545 meters. It is also worth noting that carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 80% compared to similar models.

The first flight of the new airplane is scheduled for 2030
