DBT Aero, a pioneering aerospace company developing ultra-efficient personal, business, and advanced training aircraft, is proud to announce that it has received a series of powerful Letters of Support (LoS) from respected aerospace partners, manufacturers, and thought leaders across the aviation industry.

The endorsements reflect growing recognition of the company’s patented Double Box Tail (DBT) technology and the forthcoming DBT 2LX, a two-seat ready-to-fly and kit aircraft designed for modern regional air mobility, personal and business transportation, and advanced flight training.

A Chorus of Support for Innovation

From global composite suppliers to cutting-edge engineering firms, DBT Aero has received enthusiastic support for its design approach, technical rigor, and business strategy. These letters reinforce investor confidence and validate the DBT 2LX’s potential impact across multiple aviation segments.

“The DBT 2LX exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to sustainable aviation. Its composite airframe and unique aerodynamic configuration reflect a commitment to efficiency, versatility, and engineering excellence.”

— Nate Lodder, President, Nammo Composite Solutions

“We are enthusiastic about the low-risk, high-potential impact of DBT Aero’s program. Our team views this initiative as essential to advancing the next generation of aerospace platforms.”

— Steve Ruege, CEO, Composites Universal Group

“The Double Box Tail (DBT) configuration offers notable aerodynamic and structural advantages. DBT Aero’s engineering rigor and design leadership show real promise to contribute to the future of light aircraft.”

Designed for Real-World Impact

The DBT 2LX is designed around a side-by-side cockpit for improved comfort and safety, achieving over 40% efficiency gains compared to traditional light aircraft. Its clean-sheet design allows for lower drag, higher lift, and increased inherent stability—qualities that reduce the need for added safety systems and enhance pilot confidence.

The aircraft’s innovative features make it ideal for flight schools, flying clubs, personal or business transportation, and regional mobility providers looking to modernize their fleets under the FAA’s new MOSAIC rule.

“We are excited to express our strong support for DBT Aero and its innovative technology. Their work has the potential to significantly impact the entire aviation industry.”

— Jared Wilson, Director of Sales, Implementing Ideas

“We’ve partnered with visionary organizations for over 45 years. A few projects have truly ignited our passion—and this is one of them.”

— Kurt Zeile, Director of Business Development, Prefix Corporation

“DBT Aero has de-risked the development of the DBT 2LX and shortened the path to market for a MOSAIC-compliant aircraft. We anticipate they’ll be among the first to market and capture a substantial share.”

— W. Beau Griffith, VP of Programs, Flighthouse Engineering

“MassEnergy H2 sees an immediate need for fast, sustainable aircraft that are quiet, safe, and more affordable than anything currently available. DBT Aero is meeting that need.”

— Joseph Turek, CEO, MassEnergy H2 INC
