When it comes to flying, most people have a preference for the seat they want to get. Some love the aisle seat, and others like the window seat. The one thing most people can agree on is that the middle seat is the worst place to be on a flight. However, we have some bad news for the people who love the window seat, as a windowless jet is being tested, and it might be the future for aviation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the race to build faster, cleaner, and more efficient private jets<\/strong><\/a>, one manufacturer is opting for a bold new design, by removing something most passengers expect: windows. Otto Aviation’s Phantom 3500 is a windowless jet that replaces traditional portholes with digital displays, all in the name of performance, luxury, and major fuel savings. Set to enter service by 2030, this futuristic aircraft could redefine business and luxury air travel at high altitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Windowless Jet That\u2019s Redefining Air Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By eliminating windows and embracing a perfectly smooth fuselage, the Phantom 3500 fully takes advantage of transonic laminar flow, a type of airflow that significantly reduces drag. This allows the aircraft<\/strong><\/a> to achieve up to 35% better fuel efficiency than similar jets, translating to lower emissions and operating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rather than sacrificing passenger experience, Otto Aviation replaces physical windows with panoramic digital screens. These high-definition displays can project real-time views from external cameras or calming digital environments like sunsets or starfields. This not only maintains the illusion of openness but also gives the cabin a sleek, futuristic aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n

The aircraft is expected to cruise at altitudes up to 51,000 feet and cover a range of 3,200 nautical miles. Its interior, designed with private business travelers and luxury clients in mind, offers a smoother ride and reduced cabin noise thanks to its windowless design and aerodynamic shape. So while it might take a while before EasyJet puts you into a windowless plane, it can still be the future! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech Meets Luxury in the Future of Flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Otto Aviation isn\u2019t just aiming for improved fuel economy; it wants to deliver a high-end experience without the environmental cost. The Phantom 3500\u2019s design reportedly cuts operational costs in half compared to conventional private jets. With the ability to fly above most commercial traffic and weather patterns, the jet promises faster, quieter, and more direct routes for cross-country and transcontinental travel.<\/p>\n\n\n
