Another Oddly-Shaped Aircraft!
The Stranger the Shape, The More Efficient!
The bulbous-looking Celera 500L aircraft above is the creation of William Otto and his company Otto Aviation. The following statement from Otto Aviation sums up William Otto’s Celera design:
What grabbed me about this particular aircraft wasn’t as much about the design but rather the similarity to another form of transportation I wrote about, the Airlander.

Otto Laboratories, Inc accumulated tremendous knowledge over many years working as an accident reconstruction firm. This, coupled with the immense amount of travel William and his team traveled, gave them insight into the shortcomings of commercial travel. Digging further into William’s past, he is a torpedoes weapon specialist. It is not a far cry to say this…
