The **Lockwood Aircraft Corporation** is an [ultralight aircraft](/source/Ultralight_aircraft) manufacturer located in [Sebring, Florida](/source/Sebring%2C_Florida).

Leza-Lockwood was started by ultralight pioneer Phil Lockwood after the [National Geographic Society](/source/National_Geographic_Society) asked him to design a camera plane to film in the [Ndoki Rain Forest](/source/Nouabal%C3%A9-Ndoki_National_Park) in the northern [Congo Basin](/source/Congo_Basin). 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](/source/Vertical_stabilizer) which required a big-torsion resistant [fuselage](/source/Fuselage) tail. The resulting concept was the [Aircam](/source/Aircam).

Phil Lockwood sought funding from Antonio Leza to form the Leza-Lockwood Company 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.

In 2007, Lockwood Aircraft, a new company formed by Phil Lockwood, purchased all design rights, inventory and tooling from the prior owner Antonio Leza.[1]
