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.
