The Mission
Commercial aviation still flies the same tube-and-wing shape it has for seventy years. Natilus is building a family of blended-wing-body aircraft across two lines — KONA for freight and HORIZON EVO for passengers — for dramatically better aerodynamic efficiency, roughly 30% less fuel burn, more internal volume, and less noise. Design. Build. Fly.
