This is the plane of the future: a windowless megajet that turns the sky into a giant screen
The Phantom 3500, created by Otto Aviation, promises to reduce fuel consumption by 60% and revolutionize corporate flights with its futuristic design.
The world of aeronautics may be on the verge of a new revolution. The Phantom 3500, an ultra-modern windowless airplane, promises to completely redefine the flying experience. Its cockpit is lined with high-definition digital screens that project real-time views of the outside world, creating the illusion of traveling in a fully transparent aircraft.
Developed by the American company Otto Aviation, the Phantom 3500 is presented as a next-generation business jet capable of flying up to 3,700 nautical miles (nearly 7,000 kilometers) while consuming significantly less fuel than comparable aircraft. According to the company, its AI-assisted aerodynamic design cuts fuel consumption by 60%, and when powered by sustainable fuels, could reduce carbon emissions by up to 90%.
Inside, the aircraft offers a spacious, futuristic cabin designed for maximum comfort, accommodating up to nine passengers in a two-meter-high interior ideal for both private and corporate travel. On the outside, its sleek fuselage looks like something straight out of a science fiction film.
Otto Aviation CEO Paul Touw unveiled the Phantom 3500 at the Paris Air Show, describing it as “the result of relentless innovation and bold thinking.” He added that the company’s goal is to achieve carbon neutrality twenty years ahead of the global 2050 target—a “transformative step toward more sustainable aviation.”
