Eagle Technologies’ expertise in aerospace engineering, prototyping and manufacturing will play a key role in bringing the LEO Coupe eVTOL personal transport vehicle to market.

LEO Flight Corporation has agreed a strategic alliance with aerospace manufacturer Eagle Technologies, LLC to develop the LEO Coupe fully-electric, vertical-takeoff-and-landing flying car.

Eagle Technologies 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 continuously in the development of eVTOL and conventional aircraft systems, serving the complete spectrum of OEMs, US government, and small private organisations.

"This partnership will have far-reaching implications for the way people move around in the world," says 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.”

The company says its Coupe will be designed for personal ownership, pushing the boundaries of safety, performance and practicality, making it an ideal large-scale transportation solution. "Bringing the Jetsons-era vision to the masses will require an advanced understanding of engineering and design techniques," it says.

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