The SC Aerospace Boom: F-16s, Dreamliners, and Drones
Our own SC Aerospace Director, Stephen Astemborski, sat down with Let’s Talk Business host, Rick Jenkins, to discuss the growth of the aerospace industry in South Carolina. Check out the full episode below.
South Carolina’s aerospace industry has evolved from a promising niche into one of the state’s most powerful economic engines. Once known primarily for textiles and automotive production, the Palmetto State now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with national leaders in aviation and advanced manufacturing. With Boeing assembling the 787 Dreamliner in North Charleston and Lockheed Martin ramping up F-16 production in Greenville, the sector’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable.
