Aero-News Quote of the Day
“Siting a new flight center in central Washington will allow the state to build off of the established strengths of its thriving aerospace industry. The Flight Center supports the commercial growth of the UAS sector, attracting and additional aerospace research and development dollars, providing users with cost-effective, safe, flight testing facilities and fostering the development of more companies and high quality jobs in Washington.”
Source: Bart Phillips, vice president for economic development for Innovate Washington, in comments made as a consortium of Washington state-based organizations ready submissions for the final section of a proposal to site an unmanned aircraft system research and testing facility in central Washington. If successful, the proposal to the FAA will result in the agency naming the Pacific Northwest Unmanned Aerial Systems Flight Center as one of six U.S. testing facilities later this year.
