Today the state has a booming aerospace cluster, much thanks to Governor Bev Perdue’s foresight  during her tenure as lieutenant governor a few years back.

Thanks to the the expertise of personnel leaving the military, strong academic R&D as well as the dedicated effort from the Governor’s office, the North Carolina Aerospace cluster today counts 160 companies and is growing. This in a time where economic downturn is hampering growth elsewhere in the aerospace industry.
