Following in the bold visions of Tesla and SpaceX, in an agile silicon-valley approach to a brick-and-mortar aviation industry; we address the ever-evolving challenges of a global pandemic. We aim to address the needs of approximately three hundred thirty thousand pilots worldwide. With our mass production and local supply chain dependent designs, we can scale to any level within just months, unaffected by the global supply chain crisis. With already one partner in each the aviation education, and the aviation medical response sector, placing in the PSC2021, LIFT has been validated by industry practitioners and experts, with firm orders in the pipeline. The onset of the COVID pandemic has necessitated alternative means for our Pilots-in-training to study at home. Our Mission is to enhance, expand and strengthen education in the global aviation industry for the next generation of Pilots everywhere.
