Aircraft program
Family of blended wing body aircraft. Includes Kona (UAV with patent pending Diamond’ cargo-bay), Nordes (100T UAV), Alisio (60T UAV), and Horizon and Horizon Evo (passenger turbofan aircraft) variants. In development.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Notable technologies — each tag names a technology on our research record for this aircraft, with its fitting status: Primary, Standard, Option or Planned.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
