that are vital to expanding on the 10 million jobs
that civil aviation creates and the 1.3 trillion dollars
the sector contributes to the U.S. economy. It’s
about laying the groundwork for an America built to
last and compete.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Forecasts vary from 2 to 90 billion U.S. dollars
Globally.
In the next few years 40% of U.S. military air
missions will be unmanned!*
However, these numbers are Congressional
Mandate and regulatory dependent.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Companies need to position themselves for the
regulations and Congressional mandates.
States/municipalities should join the standards
group efforts. (ASTM, RTCA, SAE et.)
Federal and State representation should
contact the Acting FAA Administrator and
discuss regional goals and aspirations.
Academic Engineering departments et al are
encouraged to do the same.
