OWAM 1911 Eindecker
The Dr.Wittenstein “OWAM” (Oscar Wittenstein Aerodrom Milbertshofen) two-seater was built by Dr. Otto Wittenstein’s workshops at München/Milbertshofen, Germany. It was flown in 1911, powered by an 80/100 hp Argus. Oscar Wittenstein later designed a D.D. for Flugwerk Deutschland.
Otto Werke Eindecker No.1
The first monoplane built by Gustav Otto in 1910, with the contemporary designation Otto-Eindecker. The engine of this single-seater was a 55 hp Daimler D4F, span 13 m, length 9.3 m. Dr. Alberti was a lawyer who financed some aeroplane designers.
Otto Werke 1911 Eindecker
Built at the Puchheim airfield; one of the first Otto monoplanes. In all probability the later re-designed 1911 “Schule Doppeldecker,” thus converted from a tractor biplane into a monoplane.
Otto Werke Eindecker
The Otto Eindecker, powered by a 100 hp Argus, won the 1913 “Rund um Berlin” race. It was designed by Hauptmann Wildt and flown in the competition by Anton Bayerlein and Lothar von Linsingen.

Gustav Otto Flugmaschinenwerke built six M1912 two-seat biplane observation aircraft for the German Army in 1912. The aircraft was broadly similar to the French Caudron G series.

Otto Aviation Celera 500
Otto Aviation Group was secretly working on a project for about ten years in southern California.
In May 2019 the plane had been spotted at Victorville, California’s Southern California Logistics Airport on several occasions over the past year, and it recently was seen flying, according.
The plane features two pusher engines and a whisper-thin wing mated to a svelte blimp shaped fuselage. Claims include a ceiling of 65,000 feet with a top cruise speed of around 500 mph with a total fuel flow of between 30 and 40 gallons per hour.
In January 2019, new pictures of the pusher-propeller Celera 500L, which carries the U.S. civil registration code N818WM, emerged showing it in a markedly more mature state than in the past. The plane now has winglets at the tips of both wings. The aircraft also had a black propeller in place of the earlier white one and an aerodynamic spinner over the propeller hub. There’s also a much better view of the trapeze-like landing gear assemblies, which are of the general style found in patent documents that Otto Aviation had submitted relating to a number of the aircraft’s features.
In addition, as compared to earlier, the aircraft has conformal cowlings fitted in place over its rear-mounted engine compartment. Each one features a single large air intake and an exhaust port.
The power plant drives a single propeller. It is not clear whether a new one or two engines A03 V12. This model is in demand on the Russian Yak-52 and Yak-152.
