Welcome to the 2023 Paris Air Show,
Greetings from the Governor
June 19-25, 2023
Welcome to the 2023 Paris Air Show!
Backed by a century of know-how, Washington State has designed and produced some of the most successful and advanced aircraft, uncrewed aerial systems, satellites and space exploration vehicles the world has ever seen. Our innovative and visionary companies have ushered in the age of affordable air travel, landed rovers on distant planets, and revolutionized global communications.

Our innovative and visionary companies have ushered in the age of affordable air travel, landed rovers on distant planets, and revolutionized global communications.
Assembling an aircraft is one thing, but designing new concepts, developing the tools and technologies to bring them to life on the factory floor, and turning those designs into products than can be produced by the thousands is another. It requires a critical mass of engineering prowess, technical skill and real-world experience that few places worldwide can muster.

This makes Washington the ideal place to forge the future of aerospace, aviation and space
Many of our 130,000+ aerospace workers are second or even third-generation. Their parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents took us from the age of rickety biplanes to the era of sleek jets Supporting them is a supply chain of 1,500 companies, from small machine shops to Tier 1 companies with a global presence.

Just as we have guided the past, Washington is defining the future. At the Paris Air Show, you’ll have the opportunity to meet just a few of the many companies in our state shaping the future of aerospace. They are exploring sustainable aviation fuels; electric, hydrogen and even hybrid propulsion; next-generation rocket engines and thrusters; advanced materials; and satellites to bring broadband to remote communities.
In the space sector, Washington companies are exploring the boundaries of what is possible. Legendary firms such as Aerojet Rocketdyne and Boeing are joined by newer firms – Blue Origin, Kymeta, Spaceflight, SpaceX and dozens of others

We are incredibly proud of our state’s leadership in addressing climate change through clean and sustainable energy practices A good example is magniX’s new generation of electric motors. Eviation’s all-electric commuter plane, Alice, is undergoing flight trials in Eastern Washington using these motors. These companies demonstrate our commitment to a zero-carbon future and our culture of collaboration that can rapidly bring new ideas to market. We are also investing

These companies demonstrate our commitment to a zero-carbon future and our culture of collaboration that can rapidly bring new ideas to market. We are also investing heavily in scaled production of sustainable fuels for the air transportation industry, testing them in partnership with Alaska Airlines and other carriers.
While other states have grown their aerospace sectors, Washington continues to stay well ahead of the pack. In recent studies, the state has ranked #1 in aerospace sales, exports, profits, and employment for more than a decade and exports more aerospace products annually than California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona and Alabama—combined.
Forward-thinking public-private partnerships, including two growing innovation clusters – led by the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance and Aerospace Futures Alliance – are helping to ensure a sustainable future. An emphasis on training and education ensures a ready pipeline of talented specialists in avionics, robotics, logistics, production, interiors and advanced materials. Coupled with research and development at our state universities and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Washington is well-positioned to continue leading the way in the industry for years to come.
As governor, I am proud of our historic leadership in aerospace, aviation and space. I am also pleased to lead the state into the future; one focused on innovation, sustainability, clean transportation and new. ideas that continue to change our world.
As you tour the Paris Air Show in the coming days, I encourage you to visit the Choose Washington Pavilion to explore business and investment opportunities in Washington. We are delighted to have nearly two dozen companies and organizations with us this year. I also invite you to visit our beautiful and welcoming state to see for yourself why Washington is one of the world’s best places to do business and put down roots.

Leading the way into the future!
Sustainable Fuels
Hydrogen, electric and hybrid hydrogenelectric propulsion systems developed by Washington companies are making promising inroads on small commuter, private and short-range commercial aircraft. Initial tests have been conducted on retrofitted fossil-fuel aircraft, but new ground-up designs, such as Eviation’s Alice, are emerging from factory floors and undergoing flight trials.
Space
While the commercial space cluster is a relatively recent endeavor, space companies have been developing spacecraft systems in Washington for more than six decades, from rockets and satellites to orbital and sub-orbital vehicles. Approximately 50% of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are manufactured in Washington. The industry is predicted to grow annually by 5%, reaching $558 billion in 2026.
Industry 4.0
Washington is particularly well positioned for the arrival of Industry
4.0. Robotics, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud computing and a host of interrelated disciplines will reduce risk and compress the development and production timeframe
for new aircraft and subsequent iterations.
Automation
Technology is changing how aircraft and systems are designed and built. Close collaboration with the state’s world-renowned information and communication technology sector is facilitating changes at all levels, from the factory floor to the cockpit.
Uncrewed Systems
Opportunities exist for companies interested in developing a new generation of uncrewed vehicles and the framework for safe air and ground operations. UAS are already widely used in transportation, agriculture, media production and public safety. Over the next decade, the UAS industry is expected to create 100,000 jobs and generate $82 billion for the U.S. economy.
Air Mobility
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) will utilize highly automated aircraft to transport cargo and passengers within urban and suburban centers at lower altitudes.
Advanced Air Mobility, is the next logical step, creating transportation systems that can work intercity, deliver cargo and spawn a new generation of private and recreational vehicles.
