Natilus's BWB design offers 40% more interior capacity, which the HORIZON utilizes to make air travel more comfortable and enjoyable. Intended to have a largely customizable layout to meet the needs of each individual airline and its customer base, the HORIZON is reimagining what air travel can be with the introduction of innovative spaces for business travelers to families.

Work from the Sky in HORIZON's Video Conference Pods

For the first time on commercial aircraft, the HORIZON will be equipped with three video conference pods that act as conference rooms for the business-oriented passengers. The pods will be compatible with both video and phone calls and will be Wi-Fi-enabled, so that passengers can continue to collaborate and be productive during flight.

Families Take Center Stage with Club Seating

The HORIZON will also include Deluxe Club Seating, where a family of four can comfortably sit two-by-two facing each other, making it easy to communicate, play, and share experiences throughout the flight. No longer limited by the dreaded middle seat, the club seating is attractive for airlines looking to cater to family units with small children.

Intelligent Lighting Connected to Infotainment

The HORIZON will be equipped with an intelligent lighting system with simulated skylights and windows that can be customized to a seating zone, mimicking natural light or ambient lighting to ease the impact of jetlag. The lighting can also be coordinated with the infotainment screens to create an immersive entertainment experience.

HORIZON: Benefits of 40% More Capacity

With its unique blended-wing body design, the dramatic gains in interior cabin space translate to an entirely new experience for passengers. In this new design, the HORIZON boasts:

"The HORIZON is an innovative aircraft that ushers in a new era of air travel, offering significantly more interior space—which we've used to create a more comfortable and enjoyable cabin," said Aleksey Matyushev, CEO and Co-founder of Natilus. "This aircraft will provide our commercial airline customers with the ultimate platform to elevate the passenger experience."
