The Celera 500L: An Upcoming Aircraft With Room For 6 People
The Celera 500L has a very generous 4,500 nautical mile range and can cruise at more than 460 miles per hour. (simpleflying.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Kind of short on anything but hype, what is the useful load with full fuel for that range, another pusher? Hmm why are there not more if they are so great? Also engine type, it may be in use but that says little for how good they are in the long haul as diesel engines in aircraft have not worked out well or they would be in use more.
The pusher design is pretty much dictated by the laminar flow requirement to achieve the desired efficiency. Having the more common tractor design would preclude that.
Those performance claims are not credible.
The buried detail (which you can find in one of their patents) is the performance numbers are at FL650.
