The American company Otto Aviation announced the completion of the first stage of flight tests of the Celera 500L aircraft. It is assumed that it can be much more economical than "conventional" winged cars.

Otto Aviation has announced the end of one of the testing stages of the potentially revolutionary Celera 500L aircraft, which the company officially unveiled last year. The prototype flew for about 51 hours in 55 sorties, including at a speed of more than 250 miles per hour (400 kilometers per hour) and at an altitude of up to 15,000 feet (4.5 kilometers).

The developers do not hide their optimism and hope for new achievements. "The data from our first phase of test flights shows that we are on track to achieve the goals for the aircraft," William Otto Jr., the company's CEO, said in a statement. The serial car is planned to be created in the middle of the decade.

The aircraft received an unusual fuselage in the shape of a bullet — due to this, they want to reduce aerodynamic drag. The car was equipped with air intakes located in the rear of the fuselage, a cruciform tail and a pusher propeller.
