Our Story
The Story of LTA
Next-generation airships to transform the future of aviation.
Over the past century, transportation innovations have enabled us to move more people and cargo – further, faster, and longer. But most modern transportation is resource-intensive and slow to adapt to modern needs. Our team is forging a new path in sustainable aviation with innovative lighter-than-air technology.
At LTA, our team of makers, doers, and out-of-the box thinkers have come together to build and fly next-generation airships. We are using modern technology and advances in manufacturing to make them safer, stronger, and more efficient than ever before. We are harnessing American ingenuity to build on Akron’s renowned airship legacy.

Airships of the Future
LTA airships will reshape the air travel and cargo transportation we know today by adapting to a changing world and bringing goods and people to destinations beyond roads, runways, and ports.
It is our vision to make transportation and air travel not only more efficient but also sustainable and adaptable. That’s the purpose that drives the LTA team every day.
A Century of Airships
For more than a hundred years, Ohio, Nevada, and California have been at the center of flight. The history of airships runs deep.
