Phantom 3500: Windowless Private Jet with Sci-Fi Interiors and Revolutionary Fuel Savings

Windowless Private Jet Phantom 3500: American aviation startup Ott Aerospace has designed a private jet that will be devoid of traditional windows. This futuristic jet, named the Phantom 3500, will not only be effective in fuel efficiency but also offer a sci-fi-film-come-to-life experience. The Phantom 3500's cabin will be teardrop-shaped. Instead of windows, 6-foot-long digital panels will provide a virtual view of the outside world, streamed via live feeds from high-resolution cameras.

Company CEO Paul Tau says, "You no longer need to bend over to look outside. You'll be able to see the entire surroundings from your seat. This experience will be absolutely amazing."

The jet will be 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, with a total of 9 seats.

First Major Contract and Price

Flexjet has already signed a purchase agreement for this jet. Flexjet plans to purchase 300 jets over the next six to eight years. Assuming each jet costs approximately $19.5 million (approximately Rs. 163 crores), the deal could reach a value of $5.85 billion. First deliveries are expected in 2030.

Social Media and Public Reaction

However, this unique design was not well-received. Many on social media described it as "flying in a tin can." Some said the view from a real window was better than a digital screen.

Fuel Savings & Environmental Initiatives

The Phantom 3500 will not only be unique in appearance but will also revolutionize fuel efficiency. The company claims that this design can save up to 60%. If sustainable diesel engines are used, the savings could increase to 90%.

First Trial and Future Prospects

The company recently unveiled the first prototype of the Phantom 3500. However, the first test flight is expected in 2027, as it still needs to receive certification from the FAA. CEO Paul Tau believes that in the future, this jet will make private flights so affordable that people will choose private flights over business class. He says that the market for private flights for wealthy individuals is even larger than space travel.
