Otto Aerospace highlighted the advancements of its Phantom 3500 aircraft, designed with superlaminar flow technology to significantly improve aerodynamic efficiency.

The design incorporates a high-precision composite fuselage that allows for more uniform airflow, reducing aerodynamic drag by approximately 35%. This improvement has a direct effect on performance: lower power requirements, a reduction in engine size and weight, and a decrease in fuel consumption of up to 60%.

According to the company, this approach allows it to achieve capabilities similar to super-midsize aircraft, but with operating costs and efficiency comparable to those of a light turboprop.

This development reinforces the role of advanced aerodynamics as a key driver for improving energy efficiency in aviation.
