  • Aerospace Action Plan Progress Report
    QUEENSLAND AEROSPACE 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan PROGRESS REPORT By 2028, the Queensland aerospace industry will be recognised as a leading centre in Australasia and South East Asia for aerospace innovation in training; niche manufacturing; maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications for military and civil markets. Launch Completion 2018 2028 International border closures due to COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on the aerospace industry in Queensland, particularly the aviation sector. Despite this temporary industry downturn, the Queensland Government has continued to stimulate the aerospace industry through investment in infrastructure, technology and international promotion. I look forward to continuing to champion Queensland aerospace businesses, taking the industry to new heights. The Honourable Steven Miles MP DEPUTY PREMIER and MINISTER FOR STATE DEVELOPMENT Case study – Queensland Flight Test Range in Cloncurry The Queensland Government has invested $14.5 million to establish the foundation phase of a common-user flight test range with beyond visual line of sight capabilities at Cloncurry Airport. The Queensland Flight Test Range (QFTR) provides a critical missing element in the UAS ecosystem for industry and researchers to test and develop complex technologies. Operated by global defence technology company QinetiQ, the QFTR supports the Queensland Government’s goal of establishing the state as a UAS centre of excellence and a UAS leader in the Asia-Pacific region. Inaugural testing at QFTR was completed by Boeing Australia in late 2020. Director of Boeing Phantom Works International Emily Hughes said the company was proud to be the first user of the site and would take the opportunity to continue flight trials on key autonomous projects.
