That's a funny-looking plane

 

The Otto Aviation Celera 500L is a very unusual looking plane.  It's been marketed as a business and "utility" plane, whatever that means.

For one thing, the single prop (that bothers me) is at the rear of the plane.  For two, it has an ovoid fuselage, which is supposed to aid laminar flow and give it high fuel efficiency.

It's not real big -- seats six.

The prototype is already flying and being tested;  the goal is to have the Celera 500L sold and flying in 2025.
