Leza-Lockwood Company

The Leza-Lockwood Company is an ultralight aircraft manufacturer located in Sebring, Florida.

Leza-Lockwood was started by ultralight pioneer Phil Lockwood after National Geographic asked him to design a camera plane to film in the Ndoki Rain forest in northern Congo. Lockwood wanted a plane that would allow an engine failure in the jungle so he leaned towards a twin engine. The twin engine design required a huge vertical stabilizer which required a big-torsion resistant fuselage tail. The concept of the Aircam, air camera, was born.

Phil Lockwood sought funding from Antonio Leza to form Leza-Lockwood corporation with the intention of making the AirCam kit available to the public.

During the development only two engineers, Michael Schwartz and Pedro Gonzalez, worked for Leza-Lockwood making this dream plane possible.
