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 the first aircraft of its kind, —but it won’t be the last. Otto's future aircraft, leveraging everything learned from this pioneering demonstrator, will bring laminar flow into mainstream aviation....read more
Otto Aerospace, a leader in aerospace innovation, has been awarded $7 million grant under the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Fueling Aviation's Sustainable Transition (FAST-Tech) discretionary grant program for Low-Emission Aviation Technology. This funding will accelerate the company’s pioneering work on transonic natural laminar flow (TNLF), an aircraft technology they believe can help the aviation industry achieve carbon-neutral flight by 2050....read more
Otto Aerospace has announced plans to fly a new DARPA demonstrator aircraft in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to assess how its super-laminar design technology could contribute to a follow-on series of tests with beamed electric power to achieve extended flight endurance....read more
Otto Aerospace has been awarded a joint collaboration between Operation Energy Capability Improvement Fund (OECIF) and DARPA to work on next-generation contested logistics concepts to develop a demonstrator aircraft, a critical step on the path to a wireless energy network. The EWA demonstrator will help validate aerodynamic and sizing considerations for future optical energy relay and prove the feasibility of using a high-altitude, long-endurance UAV as an energy web node....read more
