Aerospace and Aviation

Leverage Ohio's leadership in the development of new Aerospace and Aviation technologies.

Ohio's Aerospace and Aviation Industry is the nation’s leader in advanced propulsion and power technology, providing a world-class research environment that includes two dedicated federal aerospace laboratories and ten aerospace related doctoral programs at Ohio universities. Graduates of these institutions provide a cluster of highly skilled and educated workers.  Ohio is home to 24 astronauts including Neil Armstrong, one of the three members of the Apollo 11 crew. Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. Ohioan, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin took the first steps on the moon on July 20, 1969.

Ohio’s aerospace and aviation industry covers a complete spectrum of advanced propulsion technologies for all aerospace vehicle types (aircraft, rockets, and spacecraft) both military and commercial. Power generation systems are of equal importance as much of the same technology applies. Technology application and research areas encompass a range of technologies, including but not limited to, Gas Turbines, Combustion Engines, Propeller Design/Manufacturing, Helicopter Rotors and Propellants.

Statewide, over 66,000 Ohioans are employed in Aerospace and Defense including over 600 private companies. Ohio's aerospace jobs rank 1st among the 12 comparable states in private sector aerospace and defense manufacturing value-added, nearly double the national average. Ohio is leading the country in fields such as propulsion and power, advanced materials and materials processing.
