Flexjet Orders Otto Aerospace's Windowless Private Jets
Imagine a plane without windows!
Otto Aerospace is making a private jet called the Phantom 3500 that does just that.
Instead of windows, it will have screens that show you the view outside, like a video game.
The company Flexjet wants to buy 300 of these planes.
They will be for wealthy people who like to fly privately.
This plane is designed to save fuel, making private flights potentially cheaper.
The first flight is planned for 2027, and deliveries are planned for 2030.
The design might attract younger travelers who are used to technology.
Flexjet signed a contract to purchase 300 of Otto Aerospace's Phantom 3500 aircraft.
The approximate value of the deal is $5.85 billion.
The Phantom 3500 features digital panes that display a virtual view of the outdoors.
The aircraft is expected to cut fuel burn by 60% compared to similar jets.
The first flight is targeted for 2027, with delivery planned for 2030.
