1 the aerospace advantage OPPORTUNITIES FOR AEROSPACE MANUFACTURERS IN SOUTHWEST OHIO Aerospace manufacturing is an important economic driver in the U.S., employing more than 400,000 at an average annual income of over $80,000. However, the aerospace manufacturing industry has also been heavily impacted by globalization, forcing the industry to continuously improve performance, decrease production costs, and shorten the time to market in order to stay competitive in the global marketplace. The Dayton Region has much to offer the aerospace manufacturing industry to help them remain competitive. With a history in aviation innovation and an economy built on manufacturing, the Dayton Region offers a strong and diverse manufacturing base, from materials to high-tech aerospace systems. The Dayton Region is the home base for the Air Force Research Laboratory, offering access to aerospace research and development that can result in improved performance and efficiencies for aerospace manufacturers. Even better, the Dayton Region s Midwestern location makes economic sense. With lower wages and costs of living than the East and West coasts, businesses can find competitive wages for a talented workforce. In addition, the Region offers access to major interstates and transportation infrastructure, making it simple for businesses to reach markets, suppliers, or aircraft manufacturers.

3 ohio s supply chain resources The Dayton Region, like many other cities in Ohio and the Midwest, has a strong history of manufacturing. The manufacturing industry was the most prominent driver industry in the 20th century. Although the Dayton Region lost much of its automotive manufacturing in the last decade, aerospace manufacturing grew by more than 30 percent during the same period. This manufacturing infrastructure, along with a robust transportation and logistics network, has created a state-wide ecosystem for aircraft parts manufacturing and the aircraft assembly supply chain. 90 TOLEDO EXPRESS TOLEDO BURKE LAKEFRONT CLEVELAND 80 NASA GLENN CLEVELAND-HOPKINS INT L AKRON-CANTON AKRON 76 YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN REGIONAL CANTON DAYTON INT L 70 COLUMBUS PORT COLUMBUS INT L New York DAYTON WPAFB RICKENBACKER INLAND PORT Chicago Dayton Philadelphia Washington D.C.

4 manufacturing capacity Although no aircraft are currently being manufactured in Southwest Ohio, the Region is a national leader in the aircraft manufacturing supply chain. The combined strengths of both Dayton and Cincinnati create a nearly complete supply chain within just a 50-mile radius of Dayton. Of the top 30 manufacturing industries that the aircraft manufacturing industry requires for aircraft production, 28 exist in the state of Ohio and 24 are concentrated in Southwest Ohio. The location quotient (LQ) measures the concentration of that industry within a region (US=1.0). The Southwest Ohio Region has a higher concentration in almost all of the related support industries. In the rare instances where the industry does not exist in Southwest Ohio, other Ohio metropolitan areas offer the manufacturing needed to support the aircraft industry.

7 One of the Dayton Region s most important assets is the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Of the ten directorates of AFRL, five of them are located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton. The five directorates include: Materials and manufacturing; Power and propulsion; Sensors; Human Performance; and Air Vehicles. AFRL s research and development budget alone is nearly twice the R&D investment made by all Ohio Academic and public institutions. In fact, if AFRL s R&D expenditures were compared to all the other state s university (public and private) R&D expenditures, AFRL ranks #3. Only California and New York universities are spending more on R&D. Additionally, federal agencies have invested $731 million in Ohio small businesses over the last ten years through Small Business Innovative Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) contracts. These cornerstones to the Region and the State s R&D are foundational to increasing industry opportunities. public r&d by state compared to AFRL r&d budget EXPENDITURES IN BILLIONS $8.00 $7.00 $6.00 R&D Expenditures in billions $5.00 $4.00 $3.00 $2.00 $1.00 $- CO WA VA WI GA FL MI OH IL NC MA PA MD TX AFRL NY CA Funding Sources Institution funds Federal government State and local government Industry All other sources Source: State expenditures represent higher-education R&D reported to NSF; AFRL figures from FY09 data OPPORTUNITIES FOR AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING IN SOUTHWEST OHIO 5

8 logistics and distribution The Dayton Region and the State of Ohio offer a business-friendly environment. Site Selection magazine awarded Ohio with the 2011 Governor s Cup, recognizing its national leadership in the development of new and expansion projects. In addition, Dayton tied for second place in the top metro areas. The State of Ohio has aggressively reformed its tax structure, making it easier for companies to do business in Ohio. A recent report by Ernst & Young entitled Competitiveness of State and Local Business Taxes on New Investment ranked Ohio as having the third-friendliest tax environment in the U.S. and the friendliest in the Midwestern region. In addition to its business-friendly climate, the Dayton Region is well positioned to support aerospace manufacturing. Dayton and Cincinnati together offer a strong concentration of aerospace manufacturing and the supply chain that supports it. And Dayton s prominence in aerospace research and development connects the aerospace industry to the research and innovation that is required for companies to adapt to new technologies and continue to be competitive. Dayton is also a convenient location for aerospace manufacturers and the access to the supply chain that they required. Dayton, Ohio sits at the intersection of I-70 and I-75, one of the most highly traveled intersections in the United States. The Dayton Region is within 600 miles of 53 percent of the U.S. population and 60 percent of workers currently employed in manufacturing industry, providing short commutes to major markets. Five international airports Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Louisville and Indianapolis are within a 90-mile drive from Southwest Ohio. Those five airports are responsible for more than 15% of all air cargo in North America. ohio airport cargo rankings among the busiest north american airports BASED ON 2010 TRAFFIC REPORTS Rank Airport (airport code) Total Cargo (metric tones) Airports within a 90 mile radius of Southwest Ohio 3 Louisville International Airport (SDF) 2,166,656 8 Indianapolis International Airport (IND) 1,012, Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) 371, Dayton International Airport (DAY) 8, Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) 4, Blue Grass Airport (LEX) 75 Other major Ohio airports 22 Toledo Express Airport (TOL) 254, Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport (CLE) 79, Rickenbacker Inland Port (LCK) 69, Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL) Akron-Canton (CAK) 65 Total 3,967,973 Source: Airports Council International 6 THE AEROSPACE ADVANTAGE

9 An ideal spot for manufacturers, Ohio offers a variety of options for moving materials. Ohio is ranked the top state in both value and weight of domestic shipments, and offers the infrastructure required to move those shipments. The largest transportation and logistics in Ohio is the trucking industry. Ohio has the sixth-largest interstate system in the U.S., with nearly 1,600 miles of interstate, including eight major interstate highways. Ohio s trucking industry is the fourth largest in the U.S., employing nearly 70,000 people. Ohio s rail system employs 7,800 people and is the third largest in the U.S. for rail miles, including 36 freight railroads covering 5,800 miles that transports $1.8 billion in shipments. Rail spurs connect truck, air, and water traffic, maximizing the logistics infrastructure that the Ohio offers. Recent investments include construction that will allow doublestacked trains to transport across Ohio. Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati all offer international airports, and two regional airports are located in Akron and Youngstown. Air transport includes air-cargo hubs at Wilmington Air Park in Wilmington, Rickenbacker International Airport near Columbus, and Toledo Express in Toledo, Ohio. Water transport is also an option for moving shipments. Bordered to the south by the Ohio River, which feeds into the Mississippi, and to the north by the Great Lakes, Ohio offers 209 ports along 716 miles of waterways that lead to the Gulf of Mexico and the St. Lawrence Seaway. 90 TOLEDO EXPRESS TOLEDO BURKE LAKEFRONT CLEVELAND 80 NASA GLENN CLEVELAND-HOPKINS INT L AKRON-CANTON AKRON 76 YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN REGIONAL CANTON DAYTON INT L COLUMBUS 70 PORT COLUMBUS INT L INDIANAPOLIS INT L INDIANAPOLIS, IN INDIANA DAYTON WPAFB RICKENBACKER INLAND PORT WILMINGTON AIR PARK 65 CINCINNATI 74 CINCINNATI-NORTHERN KENTUCKY INT L KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE INT L LOUISVILLE, KY 64 BLUE GRASS LEXINGTON, KY For more information on Ohio s Logistics and Distribution assets refer to Gaining Access to North American Markets: The Ohio/Texas Advantage.
