Revolutionary Sleek Business Jet Aims To Reach Aviation Net Zero '20 Years Ahead Of Schedule’. This new business jet could bring in super-fast net-zero flight by 2030 - two decades ahead of aviation sector targets. Florida firm Otto Aviation’s Phantom 3500 nine-seat jet employs an AI-driven, transonic super-laminar flow architecture which, according to Otto, burns 60% less fuel than comparable aircraft. When fuelled with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), overall carbon emissions fall by 90%. Speaking at the Paris Air Show earlier this month, chief executive Paul Touw announced the ambitious target of having the plane in use by 2030. “The Phantom 3500 is the result of relentless innovation and bold thinking,” said CEO Touw during his remarks. “By achieving carbon neutrality 20 years ahead of the 2050 target, we’re not just meeting expectations—Otto is redefining what’s possible in aviation”. Inside the jet, passengers will find digital displays in place of conventional windows, offering live panoramic views while helping to keep the fuselage streamlined. Initial flight tests are scheduled for early 2027, with certification and service entry targeted for 2030.
