Funding will advance aerial mobility technology in northeast Oklahoma by transitioning the region from legacy industries to advanced mobility, automation, and unmanned aerial systems. Oklahoma State University will partner with the Osage Nation to develop a flight test range for aerial mobility technologies and establish the Launchpad Research and Technology Center in Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood. Once implemented, the investment is expected to help develop and strengthen regional industry clusters in advanced mobility while embracing economic equity, job creation, and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally.
