The AZ Advantage
Arizona’s Aerospace Mecca – the Future Is Here.
Home to more than 500 aerospace companies, Arizona is one of the nation’s largest and fastest growing aerospace centers in the United States. With operating and cost-of-living expenses well below those of competing technological centers, optimal weather conditions for flying and testing year-round, and exceptional educational and research programs in aerospace and engineering, high-tech companies are thriving in Arizona.
Boeing, General Dynamics, Honeywell, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Orbital Sciences are just a handful of the state’s major industry players contributing to Arizona’s impressive resume, which includes top 10 rankings in Department of Defense contracts, aerospace and defense manufacturing, aerospace exports and aerospace jobs.
Fueled by strong support from state, local and educational leaders, Arizona’s infrastructure, low operating costs, rich incentives and specialized workforce have contributed to the ongoing success of industry leaders operating in Arizona, and helped to secure its position as a major global center for the aerospace and defense industry.
