Speed seems to be almost comparable to a turbine aircraft in cruising speed if you go by their numbers, despite it being V12 piston prop driven. Cruising speed of the 500L is 450 mph and the cruising speed of a Gulfstream IV is 520 mph.
This air frame looks uncannily like the failed Planet Satellite in 1948 though.
- enjeyw 6y agoIf anything the Planet Satellite plane looks more modern - its wings are nicely blended into the base of the fuselage. In contrast the Celera looks like someone got lazy on CAD an just intersected a bullet shape with a wing shape.
