Natilus has revealed the interior design for its Horizon blended-wing-body (BWB) airliner, a 200-seat aircraft that the company says could compete with the popular Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320neo families of narrowbodies in the early 2030s. Thanks to its highly aerodynamic BWB airframe, the Horizon aircraft burns 25% less fuel and can reduce operating costs by half, Natilus claims.

With about the same wingspan as a 737 or A321, the Horizon aircraft boasts 40% more room inside the cabin. Natilus takes advantage of this extra space by improving passenger comfort with larger seats and double-wide armrests. Airlines can also customize their cabins with unique premium features, including video conference pods for business travelers and “deluxe” club-style seating for families.
