The Phantom 3500 from Otto Aviation is a next-generation aircraft that emits just 2g more CO2 than an EV.
This plane is set to skyrocket in 2030 with groundbreaking technology and one huge winning factor, laminar flow.
With a max range of 3,500 nautical miles, the plane is set to be a force to be reckoned with.
And, it’s so green that it only emits slightly more emissions than a standard road-ready EV.

The Phantom 3500 emits just 2g more carbon than an EV
When it comes to the aviation world, mechanics and engineering are ever evolving.

Otto Aviation, an impressive startup, is working on the environmentally friendly Phantom 3500 aircraft that emits just 2g more CO2 than an electric car.
It’s set to be propelled into production in late 2030. The craft is built on ‘revolutionary’ technology that has been proven by the company’s laminar flow tech demonstrator.
“If you take an EV, let’s say a Tesla, and you look at its carbon emissions per seat mile, considering it as a system where you have to create the electricity, we are just slightly more than that from a seat mile vantage point.” Otto Aviation CEO, Paul Touw, said.

“Which is kind of fun to think about because we are going 500mph and they’re going 50mph, roughly speaking,” he went on.
But, there’s also impressive design perks, too, and the most vital? Super Natural Vision.
Otto Aviation has reimagined traditional windows in the cabin by replacing them with ‘state-of-the-art high-definition digital displays’. Which you have to admit, is revolutionary stuff.
They are also partnered with Williams to make a clean engine and a fuel system certified for sustainable aviation fuel.
When thinking about sustainability, often cars are thought to be the cleanest of them all, but the story of clean tech doesn’t just stick to the ground.

“The imagery that people have in their head is that the cars are really clean, but we can do that in aviation too,” continued Touw.
Within the EV world, tech doesn’t just stick to the open road
When it comes to saving the planet, electric cars are often adopted by drivers to both save money and the environment around them.
Now, as technology has advanced, different forms of aircraft have also adopted green engineering, making traveling by air cleaner and quicker.
For example, there was recently a historic moment in aviation as JFK Airport hosted the first-ever all-electric landing.
Plus, the fun doesn’t stop there, as across the pond in the UK, a luxury personal electric aircraft is finally about to go transatlantic and land in America for the first time.
It’s safe to say that Otto Aviation’s emission output is impressive, but don’t just take our word for it.
