In a significant strategic shift, Swedish hybrid-electric aircraft developer Heart Aerospace has announced plans to relocate its global headquarters from Save Airport near Gothenburg, Sweden to Los Angeles, California. The move, described by company leadership as critical for accelerating its ambitious development timeline, comes as the startup prepares for experimental flights of its two new aircraft models in the coming year.
The relocation positions Heart Aerospace at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic aerospace innovation hubs. Southern California is home to major industry players, cutting-edge R&D facilities, and a deep talent pool in sustainable aviation technology.
“Los Angeles offers unparalleled access to aerospace expertise, investment networks, and strategic partners essential for bringing our hybrid-electric aircraft to market,” a company spokesperson stated. “This move will streamline our development process as we enter a critical phase of flight testing and certification.”
With global demand for cleaner air travel rising, Heart’s move underscores the competitive race to dominate the hybrid-electric aviation market. Competitors like Eviation and Joby Aviation have also established U.S. operations, intensifying the push for first-mover advantage.
