The Pacific Northwest is home to one of the most robust and dynamic aerospace clusters in the world.

For more than 100 years, the aerospace ecosystem has been building aircraft in the Pacific Northwest. Today, with more than 100,000 employed in the industry and thousands more from companies supporting aerospace manufacturing around the region, the Pacific Northwest is at the forefront of aerospace innovation when it comes to cutting edge aerospace composites, avionics, and alternative fuels.

Today, the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Cluster serves more than commercial jets. It consists of thousands of companies big and small that serve every segment of aerospace – from commercial and military jets to unmanned systems, space rockets, satellites and electric propulsion. With the evolution of composites, advancements in engines and new technology, the cluster’s future is brighter than ever. The next 25 years will be limited only by the imagination of our cluster’s talented and experienced workforce.
