Kuehne+Nagel has partnered with Natilus, an aerospace manufacturer of blended-wing-body aircraft, to examine the environmental, economic, and operational impacts of integrating these aircraft into commercial air logistics. The collaboration aims to assess the feasibility of implementing Natilus’s aircraft, focusing on route modeling, environmental impact, and cost analysis. Natilus’s designs promise to reduce fuel consumption by 30% and increase payload capacity by 40%. Together, they will explore how these innovations can enhance logistics efficiency and sustainability in freight forwarding.
