Sustainable Flight
A New Era in Aviation
At Otto Aviation, we’re not just building an aircraft — we’re redefining the physics of flight. Our revolutionary laminar flow design isn’t an incremental improvement; it’s a complete rethinking of aerodynamic efficiency. By minimizing drag at a level never before achieved in commercial aviation, Otto’s aircraft represents an entirely new category — one engineered for the future of sustainable air travel.
Aerospace has long been constrained by the inefficiencies of traditional aircraft design. Our full laminar flow technology is a game-changer, drastically reducing fuel burn while maintaining high performance. This isn’t just about making aviation more efficient — it’s about transforming it into a cleaner, more innovative industry.
Slashing Carbon Emissions at the Source
Reducing fuel consumption is the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions in aviation. Our aerodynamic breakthroughs deliver an unprecedented 70% reduction in drag, slashing fuel requirements by up to 50%. When combined with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Otto aircraft reduces carbon emissions by more than 90%. That means significantly lower CO₂ output per passenger-mile, setting a new benchmark for clean aviation.
The Phantom flies at 500 mph on laminar flow airfoils with similar carbon emissions to EVs at 50 mph on wheels.
Reducing Contrails for a Clearer Sky
Contrails are a byproduct of jet engines and contribute significantly to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere. By enabling more efficient cruising at optimized altitudes with lower fuel burn, our laminar flow aircraft eliminates contrail formation, helping to further mitigate aviation’s environmental impact.
