Natilus: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)
Natilus designs, develops, and produces blended-wing-body aircraft for both cargo and passenger use, focusing on new air transport platforms rather than conventional tube-and-wing planes. Its product lines include the KONA freighter series, built for freight operations, and the HORIZON family, built for commercial passenger travel. The company engineers aircraft that integrate payload capacity into a single aerodynamic structure to improve efficiency and lower operational fuel use. Natilus works with partners to fabricate composite components and validate aircraft designs through testing. Its offerings aim to reshape aviation logistics by providing alternative aircraft types that support freight movement and passenger service.
Natilus has raised $28.0M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Series A of $28.0M announced in Feb 2026.
That round is above the $5.0M median round size for Manufacturing companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Natilus Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Natilus is left off this page rather than filled in.
