Odys Aviation has relocated from Burbank to Long Beach, California, as it accelerates the development of its hybrid-electric eVTOL aircraft project with a recent $12.4 million round of seed funding out of a total of $18 million. The 15,000-square-foot facility at Long Beach Airport (LGB) will support advanced testing of Odys's eVTOL technology, as well as construction and assembly of its first human-scale demonstrators, which it plans to test and fly at a location outside Long Beach. 

Odys said its new proximity to other entities within the aviation and aerospace industry will help cement its position as a major player in the local community of aerospace startups.
