Natilus, a U.S. corporation producing the world’s first autonomous aircraft for freight transport, has partnered with Janicki for composite part design and fabrication.
“Through Natilus’ design and development of a mostly composite, blended-wing body, autonomous aircraft, the company will provide customers with double the cargo volume for each trip while simultaneously reducing up to 60 percent of today’s cargo transport cost. On top of the customer benefits, the technology and unique shape of the blended wing body also thrusts aerospace toward a greener future with a 50 percent reduced carbon footprint per vehicle, and a clear path to zero emissions with hydrogen. Natilus’ N3.8T is scheduled to fly in 2024,” says an official release.
Aleksey Matyushev, CEO, Natilus says: “We selected Janicki because they are a family-owned and operated company, founded and run by engineers with the highest qualifications and experience in designing large-scale, high-precision prototypes, tools and production parts.”
