Next-generation aircraft designed to transport people and cargo to all corners of the world more efficiently and sustainably than ever before.

ENTERING THE
Blended Wing
BODY ERA

Our blended wing body aircraft delivers dramatically improved aerodynamic efficiency while also providing a powerful increase in internal volume, less fuel burn, fewer emissions, higher payloads, and lower.

BLENDED WING VS
TUBE & WING

Blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft outperform traditional tube and wing aircraft in the areas of efficiency, performance, and environmental impact resulting in improved fleet operations while protecting our planet for future generations.

Aerodynamic Efficiency

The BWB design minimizes aerodynamic drag by eliminating the traditional fuselage-wing junction, allowing the entire aircraft body to contribute to lift.

Fuel Efficiency

BWB aircraft can achieve fuel savings of 30%, which is significant for an industry striving to lower carbon emissions and reduce costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
With improved fuel efficiency and the room to accommodate future propulsion technologies, BWB aircraft can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, addressing environmental concerns in aviation.
PAYLOAD CAPACITY

The design integrates the payload into the wing structure, increasing internal volume and weight efficiency. This enables BWB aircraft to carry more passengers or cargo for a given wingspan.

INCREASED RANGE

The aerodynamic efficiency of BWB aircraft allows them to fly longer distances on the same amount of fuel, making them suitable for a variety of routes and reducing the frequency of refueling stops.

NOISE REDUCTION

The unique engine placement mounted above and towards the rear of the airframe helps deflect engine noise up and away from the cabin resulting in less ground noise.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

The wider cross-section provides greater flexibility for cabin configurations.

Reshaping Commercial Aviation with Cargo & Passenger Aircraft

We’re developing a family of purpose-built BWB aircraft designed to enhance both commercial cargo and passenger operations. Our aircraft provides commercial aviation with a long-overdue technological step-change, making fleets more sustainable and efficient, and meeting the evolving needs of the industry.
