Public purpose

Aerospace Index is a source-checked public map of aerospace, aviation manufacturing, test infrastructure, supply-chain, workforce, logistics, and human-systems assets.

The purpose is to make regional aerospace capability easier to discover for students, companies, educators, researchers, suppliers, and economic-development stakeholders.

The initial focus is the Midwest and Great Lakes region, including states with existing industrial strength, aviation history, research institutions, manufacturing capacity, test infrastructure, and under-recognized aerospace potential.

Aerospace Index is an independent research and mapping project. It is not a government program, funding request, infrastructure development proposal, or political initiative.

Public entries are based on source-checkable information. Strategic interpretation, readiness scoring, private architecture, and non-public technical concepts are not part of the public index.
