Meet our Mechanical Engineers

We recently unveiled the design of our beta-level aircraft, Parallel Flight Technologies' first production-intent drone that is now under construction at our headquarters. Now, we want to give you a look behind the design and introduce you to the engineers who developed our beta aircraft.

Brian Eiseman

Brian worked on the design and development of our beta-level Hybrid Power Module, a core piece of our technology that allows higher payloads and longer flight times for multirotor aircraft. He has a deep background in composite structures and design for manufacturing, most recently leading hardware development for an AI and robotics company. Prior, Brian helped design and manufacture ground-up electric motorcycles, electric skateboards, kiteboards and amusement park rides.

Fun Fact: Brian spent over eight years designing and building roller coasters, including the Steel Dragon 2000 in Japan, which holds a world record as the longest roller coaster.

Scott Allen

Scott joined PFT in September and immediately jumped into designing the beta aircraft airframe. He has more than 30 years of industrial design experience with expertise in composites and aerodynamics. He has an extensive background designing cars, car parts, motorcycles and other vehicles for Yamaha, Polaris, Jaguar, Mercedes and VW. Scott has also designed helmets for bikers and motorcyclists, created products for Oakley, Samsung, Yakima and Thule, and worked on space shuttle design with NASA.

Fun Fact: If you've seen the movie Back to the Future, you've seen Scott's work - he helped design The Delorean time machine car for the film.
