Manufacturer of unmanned remote-controlled aircraft and urban air mobility vehicles! Both building area and number of employees have doubled.
Aurora Flight Sciences is planning to double both its factory building area and employee count over the next five years. The company entered West Virginia in 1990, acquired a building from Northrop Grumman in 2000, and became part of the Boeing group after being acquired in 2017. The main reason for the expansion is the receipt of orders for the production of two successor aircraft to the WhiteKnight Two (commonly known as VMS Eve), which is a jet aircraft for transporting suborbital spaceplanes from Virgin Galactic. Final assembly will take place at Virgin's California facility, with the first flight scheduled for early 2025. 【Case Overview】 ■ Location: North Central WV Airport, Bridgeport, WV ■ Expansion Size: 50,000 sq. ft. ■ Investment Amount: $15 million ■ Increase in Workforce: 200 people *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
