LTA Research has entered into an agreement to purchase the airdock in Akron, pending an approval process. This will complement and build on our engineering and manufacturing efforts in the Mountain View, CA headquarters. We look forward to building on our efforts in Akron and working with the city and the University of Akron toward the next phase for lighter-than-air technology.
