Outbound Aerospace is a Seattle-based stealth aviation startup developing a blended-wing airplane called Olympic that leverages 3D printing, lightweight materials, and a patented manufacturing process. The founders — CEO Ian Lee and CTO Jake Armenta (ex-Boeing and Relativity Space) — aim to scale the design potentially to midsize passenger-aircraft dimensions. The company is building a one-eighth-scale demonstrator in the Dallas area with final integration in Seattle and planned flight tests in Oregon later this year. Outbound is partnering with Collinear Group to develop certification plans. The team formally employs seven people, engages roughly eight contractors/consultants, and has an additional five-to-ten volunteers helping informally. Management plans to close a pre-seed round around the demonstrator flight and pursue a larger seed raise afterward.
