Georgia is at the center of the Southeast’s thriving aerospace industry. The aerospace industry in Georgia is growing rapidly, with Lockheed Martin located in Marietta north of Atlanta, the Gulfstream commercial aircraft manufacturing facility in Savannah, and Delta Airlines in Atlanta. There is also a new spaceport located in coastal Camden County. Georgia Tech in Atlanta produces more than 2,000 aerospace industry graduates per year, and several Georgia technical colleges offer industry-related degrees.
