SKY鈥橲 NO LIMIT</h2><p>North Dakota鈥檚 spacious skies are not only worth singing about, but they鈥檙e also serving as America鈥檚 uncrewed proving ground. One might say it鈥檚 the Silicon Valley of drone innovation and a pacesetter for the nation. Our state is one of seven FAA test sites that conducts vital research for integrating uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) into our national airspace system.</p><p>North Dakota means business when it comes to UAS, investing over $79 million to advance research and development in this critical industry. Today 50 companies employ nearly 1,000 in the UAS industry, but that鈥檚 forecasted to go up, up, up by 2026 to be a $100 billion sector offering 100,000 jobs in research, manufacturing and service.</p><p>Partners like Northern Plains UAS Test Site, Grand Sky Business and Aviation Park, University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University see the potential on the horizon, too. The open terrain, uncongested airspace, a true four-season climate, and proximity to robust energy and agriculture industry clusters give North Dakota a wing up. So, if you鈥檙e ready to fly with a leader, there鈥檚 no better place to take flight than North Dakota.</p><p><a class="btn btn-rusticbrown"
