AN ultra-seek jet dubbed “plane of the future” with no windows but a see-through cabin is set to fly by 2026.
Incredible plans have been revealed for the Phantom 3500 jetliner that comes with a see-through cabin and boasts fuel-slashing AI design.

And engineers are inching closer to putting the state-of-the-art machine in the skies – which could happen as early as 2030.
Essentially a business jet, the Phantom 3500 is capable of flying up to 3,700 nautical miles with less fuel burn compared to other aircraft of the same category.
From the outside, the jet has a luxurious design which will offer “redefined comfort” to both private and business travellers.
From the inside, the aircraft is full of high-tech innovations that make the jet ahead of its time.
Traditional windows in the rear cabin have been replaced with state-of-the-art high-definition digital displays that seamlessly integrate real-time external views.
This allows passengers to enjoy stunning views of the outside sky while helping to keep the fuselage streamlined.

Inside the cockpit, pilots will find cutting-edge technology and next-gen avionics for precision control and optimised performance.
Florida firm Otto Aviation, which created Phantom 3500, says it has employed an AI-driven, transonic super-laminar flow architecture which burns 60 per cent less fuel than comparable aircraft.
When fuelled with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), overall carbon emissions fall by 90 per cent, the company claims.
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.
He added: “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.
“It’s a transformative step toward a future where cutting-edge technology and sustainability go hand in hand.”
Otto plans to relocate its headquarters and invest about £340million in a new manufacturing facility at Cecil Airport, Jacksonville.
Initial flight tests are scheduled for early 2027, with certification and service entry targeted for 2030.
