One year after announcing plans to open a research and development center in the U.S., Swedish company Heart Aerospace has now decided to fully relocate its operations to Los Angeles, California.

According to a statement from Heart Aerospace and reported in Aerospace Global News, “customers, partners and investors are increasingly based in the US,” and “the company sees greater opportunity in focusing its resources stateside.” 

This move aims to “accelerate development” in technological areas including “batteries, actuation systems, software, and hybrid-electric hardware in-house.”
