Friday Flyover. The Celera 500L

Not your Dad's Piper Cub. "The Celera 500L is designed for transcontinental range with operating costs equal to or better than commercial airline ticket pricing on a per passenger basis. This criterion requires extremely low drag across the entire aircraft with a highly fuel-efficient propulsion system. To achieve this, extensive use of laminar shapes was used for the wings, fuselage, and tail sections."

What an unusual looking aircraft.

Game changer! 18–25 mpg fuel economy, $328 hourly operating costs,  max cruise speed projected to be in excess of 460 mph, 4,500 nautical mile range,  and a payload of 6 adult passengers. Plus, the Celera 500L’s reduction in carbon emissions beats FAA and ICAO target emissions standards for aircraft entering service in or after 2031 by over 30%.

"Overcoming fears, they step off into thin air and fly like birds, hurtling at impossible speeds and gliding across beautiful landscapes. A startling insight into the revolutionary sport that brings the dream of human flight alive."
