The aerospace industry is a huge player in Florida, employing some 83,000 highly skilled workers and making an impact on the state economy estimated at $100 billion. Now, Florida State University is stepping forward to help the industry remain competitive as it contends with an aging work force and the need for innovative technologies. FSU has been selected as the lead university for the new Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP), a collaboration of the state's premier researchers in aerospace and aviation.

FCAAP would like to invite aerospace and aviation stakeholders to become charter members of FCAAP’s Industrial Consortium. Members will have access to a premier group of researchers, who are recognized leaders in their respective areas of research. Members will have first-hand access to FCAAP supported research and technologies produced by a highly active and accomplished group. Industrial Consortium membership brings in a host of collaboration, communication and networking opportunities.
