NATILUS

We are thrilled to announce the world premiere of the Natilus HORIZON blended wing body aircraft, a groundbreaking step in sustainable commercial aviation meant for the 200 passenger narrow body market. This innovative aircraft represents our commitment to sustainability and signals our expansion into passenger aircraft. The HORIZON is a hyper-efficient BWB aircraft designed to emit 50% less carbon, provide 40% greater capacity, and be 25% lighter than the traditional tube and wing aircraft used in commercial aviation today. Why the HORIZON is a big deal: ·      Commercial aviation emits over 918 million metric tons of CO2 each year.   ·      People are flying more than ever with over 4.5 billion passengers in 2024. ·      The industry has set a collective goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. ·      Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) represents only 0.5% of global aviation fuel. As the aviation industry seeks effective solutions to modernize fleets and enhance sustainability, our dedicated team has invested countless hours developing the HORIZON to be a real solution and to fit seamlessly into existing airport operations. Join us on this transformative journey as we lead the charge toward a more sustainable future in commercial aviation. Together, we can make a positive impact for generations to come. #aviation #aerospace #sustainability #innovation #sandiego #travel

We are excited to announce that Natilus has been featured in a recent CNN Travel article by journalist Jacopo Prisco showcasing our commitment to sustainable aviation through our innovative blended wing body aircraft: KONA, and HORIZON. Key Highlights from the CNN Article: 1. Sustainability Commitment: With commercial aviation contributing over 918 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, our KONA and HORIZON aircraft are designed to tackle this challenge head-on. 2. Innovative Aircraft: The KONA regional cargo aircraft and the upcoming HORIZON passenger model utilize a blended wing body (BWB) configuration, significantly improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. 3. Addressing Industry Needs: While commercial aviation aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, progress has been slow. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) currently accounts for only 0.53% of total jet fuel use, highlighting the urgent need for real, tangible solutions.

At Natilus, we are dedicated to pioneering sustainable aviation. A recent article by Nicole Cerulli in CleanTech highlights crucial strategies for decarbonizing the commercial aviation sector beyond Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), which currently account for only 0.5% of global aviation fuel. So, how can the industry achieve true sustainability? One of the most impactful solutions lies in adopting innovative aircraft designs that enhance aerodynamic efficiency and significantly reduce fuel consumption. As we progress with our KONA regional cargo aircraft and our HORIZON passenger model, we are excited to play a vital role in creating a more sustainable future for aviation.

“We decided to expand into the narrowbody market because it presents the biggest opportunity over the next 20 years.” —Aleksey Matyushev, CEO of Natilus. Our CEO Aleksey Matyushev recently sat down with Business Insider journalist Taylor Rains to discuss last week’s reveal of the 200-passenger HORIZON BWB aircraft and why this is the perfect time to introduce a new hyper-efficient passenger aircraft to commercial aviation. The HORIZON is designed to challenge the status quo and disrupt the Boeing-Airbus duopoly by offering a far more sustainable approach to air travel. The HORIZON boasts 50% lower carbon emissions and significantly more internal volume than the traditional tube-and-wing aircraft used in commercial aviation today. This innovative design unlocks new and improved aviation economics and supports our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future in air travel.

Tomorrow, we plan to unveil something transformative in the world of sustainable commercial aviation. While the industry continues to search for new solutions to become more sustainable and efficient, our team has been laser-focused on developing new hyper-efficient aircraft to meet the evolving needs of the global aviation market. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 23rd, and be sure to follow us to learn more about what we have been working on. #sustainability #innovation #aerospace #aviation #sandiego

When we first set out to make commercial aviation more sustainable, we started with a focus on air cargo.  Our team worked diligently on creating a first product that emits significantly less carbon, holds more cargo, and uses considerably less fuel.   We achieved this and more with the KONA, a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft designed as a regional cargo carrier.  KONA provides 2.5x more cargo capacity, utilizes 30% less fuel, and is 50% less expensive to operate than the traditional tube and wing aircraft used in commercial cargo operations today. Why the Kona Matters: Sustainable Efficiency: With a payload capacity of 3.8 tons and a design that reduces fuel consumption by up to 30%, the Kona is a massive leap forward for sustainable aviation. Enhanced Capacity: The unique BWB design allows for 2.5x greater capacity addressing the growing global demands of e-commerce shipping. Improved Aviation Economics: By combining more interior volume, greater aerodynamic efficiency, and a lower fuel burn, KONA dramatically improves operational costs and profitability. KONA represents a technological step change for sustainable commercial air freight and will help protect future generations for years to come.    Learn more at natilus.co #sustainability #aviation #innovation #sandiego #airfreight
