According to Otto Aviation, this allows its aircraft to achieve the optimal shape for transonic laminar flow. However, it also poses a challenge related to the passenger experience.

The Phantom 3500’s wings achieve complete laminar flow, allowing for smoother airflow and reduced drag, enabling the aircraft to take off from runways as short as 3,500 feet, nearly doubling the ...

That seems to be the reasoning behind Otto Aviation's Phantom 3500 jet aircraft that dumps the portholes in favor of super-laminar flow to lose weight and burn less fuel. SUBSCRIBE.

The Phantom 3500 burns 60% less fuel than similar-sized jets and reduces emissions by 90% when combined with sustainable ...

Celera 500L: This extraordinary aircraft is designed to carry six passengers, ... Laminar flow occurs when a fluid – such as air – flows in parallel layers, with no disruption; ...

Flaig thinks the move to carbonfibre has finally made it possible to design a wing with an appropriate 3D profile and surface properties to achieve laminar flow on a future aircraft.

Drag-reducing laminar flow is receiving increasing attention as designers strive to meet aggressive emissions-reduction targets for next-generation aircraft. Carmaker Honda will get a jump on the ...

Otto Aviation says its new Phantom 3500 business jet will take off on zero-emission flights by 2030 thanks to its laminar ...

Otto has refined its laminar flow for more than a decade. In 2017, it began flight testing with a demonstrator, the Celera 500, designed specifically with that architecture in mind.
