Is it an egg, a blimp or a bullet? Whatever you might want to call the shape of the Otto Celera 500L, it's one that catches the eye. It looks like no other plane out there, and for a good reason: unique aerodynamics.

"This gets us four to five times the efficiency of other turboprop aircraft, and seven to eight times the efficiency of jet aircraft," says William Otto Jr., CEO of Otto Aviation. For inspiration, Otto looked at studies he had done on torpedoes, when he was trying to fit more of them into a submarine. To do so, he made the engines that propelled them much smaller, by giving the torpedoes a more efficient shape that required less power.Laminar flow occurs when a fluid -- such as air -- flows in parallel layers, with no disruption; it is the opposite of turbulence, which happens when the flow is mixed or chaotic.

Because laminar flow makes the plane require less power, the Celera 500L is equipped with a single V12 diesel engine at the back, designed by German manufacturer RED."It was the most efficient aircraft engine we could find, to match the most efficient aerodynamic body," says Otto.
