Unique Functional Features
Design-to-Product Resources
Inventor: the Chief Designer, president and co-founder of LeviationTech (since 2021). For many years he established his own aircraft design and consulting business. Was VP of Diamond Aircraft, chief designer for D-Jet (London, ON, Canada) and Sino Swearingen Aircraft VP Engineering of SJ-30 (San Antonio, TX, USA. Before he worked in development groups for Fairchild Aircraft and Mooney Aircraft. Since 2018, headed Work Group 4 of NASA Transformative Fly initiative. The team is familiar with all issues about eVTOL and UAM technologies, marketing and business. He received M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Univ. of Colorado.
Facility: The designated location is a general aviation airfield in the rural center of Texas Triangle, where the team, partners and supply chain have been all around, ready.
Business: LeviationTech was established in US in 2022. Its eVTOL rotorcraft design concept was advised by Martin Stucki of Marenco Aviation in Switzerland. LeviationTech specializes aerodynamics for practical matters (payload and costs). Its US and international development is headed by Jin Luo, who consulted Martin Stucki’s Marenco Swisshelicopter AG’s international development in 2010-2016, including an Asian location development.
Progress: Through past 3 years, LeviationTech finished the concept design and feasibility study. It pressed hard to keep with NASA Transformative’s initial concepts and model, built a scale-down (1:4) model for test and proof, filed and granted the key patent.
