Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research is an aerospace research and development company building experimental and certified manned and remotely piloted airships.
Come Work With Us
We are developing advanced technologies to dramatically increase the capabilities and lower the cost of 21st century airships. With these next-generation airships, we strive to improve humanitarian aid delivery and reduce carbon emissions, while providing economic opportunity and new jobs to Americans. Learn more about our work in Akron, Ohio here.
LTA airships will have the ability to complement — and even speed up — humanitarian disaster response and relief efforts, especially in remote areas that cannot be easily accessed by plane and boat due to limited or destroyed infrastructure. We ultimately aim to create a family of aircraft with zero emissions that, when used for shipping goods and moving people, would substantially reduce the global carbon footprint of aviation.
At LTA, we believe in rising to the challenge and helping others. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the United States and medical professionals reported shortages of critical personal protective equipment (PPE), we knew we had the capabilities to make a real difference. Learn more about how our teams in Ohio and California delivered more than 250,000 face shield kits and our partner efforts to deliver at least more than 5 million more globally.
We are seeking motivated, hands-on individuals to join our dynamic team of engineers, designers and technicians to help bring complex ideas into reality.
