If your destination is Disney World and you're flying into Orlando, you might very well use one of the airports overseen by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA). The agency operates Orlando International Airport, which is one of Florida's largest, and Orlando Executive Airport, a general aviation facility. (Orlando Sanford International Airport is overseen by the Sanford Airport Authority, a separate agency.) GOAA is governed by a seven-member board that includes the mayor of Orlando, the chairman of the Orange County board of commissioners, and five people appointed by the governor of Florida.

For people in Singapore, traveling very far means traveling by air, and that means Singapore Airlines (SIA). The carrier flies to about 65 cities in about 35 countries, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region but also in Europe and North America. It boasts a fleet of about 100 aircraft. SIA extends its network via code-sharing with fellow members of the Star Alliance marketing partnership, such as Lufthansa. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus offer service to additional destinations.) The government of Singapore, through Temasek Holdings, owns 55% of SIA.

BT Fuze Products (BTFP) ensures that shells, bombs, and missiles blow up...but only if and when they are supposed to. The days of lighting fuzes by hand and watching them burn down with growing drama are long gone; today's electronic, mechanical, and electro-mechanical fuzes are highly engineered products used to detonate tank, artillery, and mortar shells with precision timing. BTFP also makes arming and safe devices for artillery, canister munitions, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and anti-ship missiles. BTFP, which traces its roots to the Bulova Watch Company, was acquired by L-3 Communications in 2001.

Canadian aviation pioneer, Russell (Russ) Bradley, started his pilot training centre and flying school in Ottawa in 1946. From the outset, Russ proved an innovator. He and legendary pilot and partner, Weldy Phipps, revolutionized Arctic flying capability by developing the large balloon-like "tundra tires" in response to the Geological Survey of Canada contract awarded to Bradley Air Services in the late 1950s. No longer were their growing number of clients going to be as limited to where and when they could land in the High Arctic.In a few short decades, Bradley Air Services Ltd. has evolved to become Canada's foremost Arctic and remote region air carrier, operating under the trademark name - FIRST AIR. Today, First Air, The Airline of the North, is owned by Makivik Corporation, the body responsible for administering the land claim settlement of the Inuit of northern Quebec. Through a series of prudent acquisitions in recent years (Ptarmigan Airways and NWT Air), First Air has expanded its fleet, its route system, and already extensive range of air carrier capability.For over 40 years, government agencies, the military, scientists, researchers, the resource sector and also adventure seeking tourists from around the world, have all looked to First Air over the years to make the northern reaches of Canada more accessible. Our reputation for reliability and unsurpassed expertise is the progressive culmination of more than 55 years of experience gained primarily in Arctic and High Arctic operations.

Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. (GBA) is engaged in the business of designing and developing new high performance gyroplanes and gyrodynes using advanced technology and modern aerospace design methods. GBA was founded in 1986 by David Groen and his brother, the late Jay Groen. David, Chairman, President & CEO, is supported by highly experienced aviation executives in key roles. GBA's Corporate Headquarters are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, with its current manufacturing facility on the same site. GBA also operates a flight test and R&D facility in Buckeye, Arizona, near Phoenix. Since its inception twenty years ago, GBA has been involved in an extensive research program in the design, engineering, development, testing and marketing of gyroplane and gyrodyne aircraft. As a result GBA has successfully developed innovative technology that has brought autorotative flight into the modern age. In November, 2005, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) selected a GBA-led team to design a proof of concept high speed, long range, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft designed for use in Combat Search and Rescue roles. This modern rotorcraft, named the “Heliplane” by DARPA, could be the next generation rotor wing aircraft, meeting economy and performance goals not considered achievable by any other type of VTOL aircraft.
