Introducing a revolutionary new aircraft.

Transonic super-laminar (TSL) aircraft can achieve twice the efficiency of traditional aircraft through laminar flow. Laminar flow is a fluid dynamics phenomenon found in nature. It is characterized by the smooth and organized flow of fluids. When fluids, or air, flow over surfaces in laminar flow (versus turbulent flow), skin friction drag is reduced by an astounding 80%.

Laminar flow is arguably this century’s holy grail opportunity in aircraft design.

Considered the holy grail of aerodynamic design, transonic aircraft that can achieve high degrees of laminar flow (or are "super-laminar") have eluded aircraft designers for decades. Additionally, conventional aluminum manufacturing techniques have yet to support the precision and waviness standards required to sustain laminar flow in flight—until now.

Decades of research and development.

In 2007, Otto began a decades-long journey to develop predictive laminar flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques with flight test data. These new predictive techniques allow Otto to optimize aircraft shapes to achieve a high degree of laminar flow.

With new ultra-high precision manufacturing techniques, these new shapes can be manufactured from advanced carbon-fiber materials to reliably achieve laminar flow in flight, dramatically reducing drag by over 30%. Our aircraft is manufactured without a rivet, seam, or gap anywhere in critical laminar flow regions.

Even more revolutionary – it’s sustainable.

New biofuels made from renewable sources, called Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reduce carbon emissions by 80%. Compounded by a 60% reduction in fuel burn at nearly 500 miles per hour, the Otto Celera 800 achieves carbon emissions per seat mile that are amazingly similar to electric vehicles (EVs). And, while burning more expensive SAF fuels, the Celera 800 achieves direct operating costs (DOCs) that are half that of comparable aircraft.
