Leading the way into the future!
Sustainable Fuels
Hydrogen, electric, and hybrid hydrogen-electric propulsion systems developed by Washington companies are making promising inroads on small commuter, private, and short-range commercial aircraft. Initial tests have been conducted on retrofitted fossil-fuel aircraft, but new ground-up designs, such as Eviation’s Alice, are emerging from factory floors and undergoing flight trials.
Space
While the commercial space cluster is a relatively recent endeavor, space companies have been developing spacecraft systems in Washington for more than six decades, from rockets and satellites to orbital and sub-orbital vehicles. Approximately 50% of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are manufactured in Washington. The industry is predicted to grow annually by 5%, reaching $558 billion in 2026.
Industry 4.0
Washington is particularly well positioned for the arrival of Industry 4.0. Robotics, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and a host of interrelated disciplines will reduce risk and compress the development and production timeframe for new aircraft
and subsequent iterations.
Automation
Technology is changing how aircraft and systems are designed and built. Close collaboration with the state’s world-renowned information and communication technology sector is facilitating changes at all levels, from the factory floor to the cockpit.
Uncrewed Systems
Opportunities exist for companies interested in developing a new generation of uncrewed vehicles and the framework for safe air and ground operations. UAS are already widely used in transportation, agriculture, media production, and public safety. Over the next decade, the UAS industry is expected to create 100,000 jobs and generate $82 billion for the U.S. economy.
Air Mobility
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) will utilize highly automatd aircraft to transport cargo and passengers within urban and suburban centers at lower altitudes. Advanced Air Mobility is the next logical step, creating transportation systems that can work intercity, deliver cargo, and spawn a new generation of private and recreational vehicles.
