Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to SKYX Platforms Corp. (d/b/a Sky Technologies), a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company of its registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the proposed resale of up to 3,465,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company, including up to 256,662 shares that may be issuable as a result of accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Selling Holder Shares”), issuable upon the conversion of 154,000 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”), by the selling securityholders listed in the Registration Statement, all of which Selling Holder Shares may be sold from time to time and on a delayed or continuous basis, as described in the prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”).

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined copies of (a) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (b) the Company’s Third Amended and Restated By-laws, (c) a recent Certificate of Status with respect to the Company, issued by the Department of State of the State of Florida, (d) the Registration Statement and Prospectus, (e) certain resolutions and minutes of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Selling Holder Shares and the Registration Statement, and (f) copies of such other agreements, documents, instruments, certificates and records as we have deemed advisable in order to render our opinions set forth below. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, that all parties (other than the Company) had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that all such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties, that such agreements or instruments are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to the originals or certified copies of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof. In providing this opinion letter, we have further relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials and officers of the Company. For purposes of the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that, before the Selling Holder Shares are issued, the Company will not issue shares of common stock or reduce the total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its then-effective articles of incorporation such that the number of unissued shares of common stock authorized under the articles of incorporation is less than the aggregate number of Selling Holder Shares.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Selling Holder Shares, when and if issued upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

 

Our opinion expressed above is limited to the Florida Business Corporation Act, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (c) waivers of rights or defenses, (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest, (f) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law or other procedural rights, (g) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (h) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (i) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (j) grants of setoff rights, (k) proxies, powers and trusts, (l) provisions prohibiting, restricting or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property and (m) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. Our opinions set forth above are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and to general principles of equity.

This opinion letter is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Selling Holder Shares, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

We hereby consent to being named in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters” and to the use of this opinion for filing with said Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.1 thereto. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,
