In a world where aircraft designers continue to believe that small windows are a guarantee of comfort, Otto Aviation has decided to adopt a completely different approach: the Otto Aviation Phantom 3500 is the first private jet without the classic windows. In their place there are high resolution digital screens showing a panorama taken by cameras in real time, or whatever the passenger wants.
Why? Because the windows don’t fly well. Literally. Cause air resistance. Otto Aviation Phantom 3500 But he wants to float, slip into the air like a brush on a canvas. No turbulence. No extra hole. The result? 35 % less air resistance and what 50 % lower fuel consumption compared to the competition. Airplane really slips into the air!
Vision of the future (with two turbofan engines)
Under the elegant exterior, they work without interference with the windows Two turbofan enginesWhich Ghost 3500 push to crossings at 50,000 feet (15,240 meters). This figure is higher than most passenger planes, which means less traffic, better weather conditions and better views. Even if – you know, those visualization It is now digitized. The plane has a programmed flight autonomy 5,790 km (3,600 miles) E Cruise speed around 850 km/h.
Internal? How to sit in Apple Store in the sky. The cabin is compact but technologically sophisticated: digital “windows” on the sides and on the ceiling, environmental lighting, enveloping seats and materials that would envy even a Swiss yacht.
But what really changes the cards on the table in this aviation segment?
In addition to the digital windows, the phantom 3500 also affects for its peso – Or rather, ease. With yours Maximum take -off weight of only 8,600 kg It is a real feather weight among reaction hunting. Construction from composites (in collaboration with Leonardo), improved aerodynamics and laminating air flow allow this bird to move more silently, more graceful and less energy.
And another thing: smaller engines, lower operating costs, less carbon imprint. The Phantom 3500 promises to make your private flights at least in part without scruples: in a world where every private flight quickly transforms into a scandal on Twitter, this is more than a good thing.

When will we want?
Otto Aviation provides for Basic design completed by October 2025the first test flight has already been early 2027. If everything goes according to the floors, they will do it First plane delivered available by 2030. In the test phase, they will build four planes Almost in production version to accelerate certification, which is not quite common in this sector.
The Phantom 3500 will therefore compete in the super-Midsize segment with names such as Challenger 3500, CITITION LONGITUDE and Praetor 600, with a completely personal philosophy. Less noise, less weight, less fuel. More design, more height, more courage.
And if he succeeds, perhaps in a few years we will all look through digital windows, not because we have to, but because we want.
