How Georgia Tech is Shaping the Future of Flight

Aerospace is Georgia’s No. 1 export — an economic engine generating more than $12 billion annually. Through research, talent development, and industry partnerships, Georgia Tech doesn’t just contribute to this ecosystem — it powers it.

Working alongside industry partners and government agencies, our faculty and students are pioneering safer, faster, more sustainable ways to move people and goods around the world. From next-generation propulsion to autonomous systems and advanced space technologies, Georgia Tech is driving workforce development, building opportunity, and increasing the state’s global competitiveness.

At Georgia Tech, we translate breakthrough ideas into technologies that reshape industries.

In our combustion labs, students and faculty are partnering with Boom Supersonic to help design and test engines that could one day make affordable, sustainable supersonic travel possible.

This is hands-on research with real-world stakes, giving students access to industry-defining projects while helping our state remain at the forefront of global aerospace innovation.
