A Technology Demonstrator
with a Lasting Impact
Since its historic mission, the Celera 500 has since been retired, but its legacy is just beginning. It proved that laminar flow at scale is not only possible — it’s the future of aviation.
- The Celera 500 was never meant to be a production aircraft — it served as the proof of concept that unlocked Ottos’s next-generation designs.
- Every lesson learned from Celera 500 is now being applied to Otto’s upcoming aircraft, setting new standards in efficiency, sustainability, and performance.
- The technology has now advanced beyond the demonstrator stage — the next step is commercial entry into service.
