LEO Flight and Eagle Technologies to partner on flying cars

LEO Flight Cor­po­ra­tion, which claims to be the world’s first elec­tric jet fly­ing car com­pa­ny, has formed a ‘strate­gic alliance’ with aero­space man­u­fac­tur­er Eagle Tech­nolo­gies to devel­op fly­ing cars with no exposed pro­pellers. The LEO Coupe is said to be the world’s pre­mier ful­ly-elec­tric eVTOL fly­ing car designed for per­son­al own­er­ship.

“This part­ner­ship will have far-reach­ing impli­ca­tions for the way peo­ple move around in the world,” said Car­los Salaff, co-founder of LEO Flight Cor­po­ra­tion.

“Eagle Tech­nolo­gies’ exper­tise in aero­space engi­neer­ing, pro­to­typ­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing will play a key role in bring­ing the LEO Coupe to mar­ket.”

Eagle Tech­nolo­gies, LLC, is a full-service aero­space engi­neer­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­ny, pro­vid­ing design, pro­to­typ­ing, test­ing, and pro­duc­tion ser­vices for both fixed wing and rotor­craft appli­ca­tions. Since 2001, Eagle has worked to devel­op eVTOL and con­ven­tion­al air­craft sys­tems, serv­ing OEMs, US gov­ern­ment, and small pri­vate orga­ni­za­tions.

“We are proud to be part­ner­ing with LEO Flight Cor­po­ra­tion on this excit­ing project,” said Bruce Bai­ley, pres­i­dent and CEO of Eagle Tech­nolo­gies. “We are con­fi­dent that our part­ner­ship will have a last­ing impact on the future of flight.”

In 2021, Eagle Avi­a­tion Tech­nolo­gies joined the Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety as part of 10 new mem­bers includ­ing Analyswift, Archer, Elec­tric Pow­er Sys­tems, Elroy Air, Helo Hold­ings, Hydroplane, Le-Van­ta Tech, Logis­ti­W­erx, Plug Pow­er, Sen­tient Sci­ence, Tier 1 Engi­neer­ing, UP Part­ners, Woolpert and Yam­a­to Hold­ings.

The Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety con­tin­ues to show record growth, reach­ing 160 cor­po­rate mem­bers

In Novem­ber 2022, we report­ed that LEO Flight was award­ed a DARPA con­tract for fur­ther devel­op­ment.
