A common question we receive is: "What makes blended wing body (BWB) aircraft superior to traditional tube-and-wing designs used in commercial aviation today?" The answer is simple: Aerodynamic efficiency. Our BWB aircraft dramatically outperforms conventional designs in this crucial area. To help you grasp the advantages of our innovative design, we've prepared a brief overview explaining 1. The concept of a blended wing body 2. How BWB design enhances performance 3. The real-world benefits for airlines and passengers Read on to discover why the future of aviation is blended. #aviation #sustainability #innovation #cleantech

Natilus Co-Founder and CEO Aleksey Matyushev and Head of Business Development Nolan Giblin recently spent two insightful days at UPS's main airfreight hub, aptly named Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky. They met with Jeff Luckett, President of UPS Flight Forward, and Patrick Fluegeman, CFA, CEO of Ameriflight, LLC, the leading regional cargo airline in the United States. This strategic meeting allowed Natilus to gain a deeper understanding of UPS Airlines’ nightly operations and Ameriflight's pivotal role in its success. Discussions centered around the pathway to scale BWB aircraft integration into future air cargo operations from the KONA to the HORIZON. We extend our gratitude to Jeff and the UPS team for hosting us and sharing their valuable time and expertise. #UPS #Ameriflight #aircargo #aviation #sustainability

For over 35 years, the Airbus-Boeing duopoly has cast a shadow over commercial aviation, stifling progress and inflating costs. This market stranglehold has far-reaching consequences: Airlines struggle: With limited choices, carriers are forced to pay premium prices for aircraft, squeezing their budgets and limiting fleet diversity. Passengers pay the price: The ripple effect hits travelers directly in their wallets, as airlines pass on higher costs through increased ticket prices. Our planet suffers: Perhaps most alarmingly, this lack of competition has slowed crucial advancements in fuel efficiency and sustainable technologies, exacerbating aviation's environmental impact. This duopoly doesn't just affect balance sheets—it impacts our wallets, our travel experiences, and the very air we breathe. It's time for fresh competition to shake up the status quo, drive innovation, and create a more sustainable future for air travel. #sustainability #innovation #aerospace #competition #travel
