“It has been my pleasure to work closely with the\nleadership team at Skydweller, and I am thrilled they have decided to locate\ntheir new headquarters in Oklahoma. Our state’s commitment to aviation and\naerospace makes Oklahoma City an ideal choice for a cutting-edge company with a\ncommitment to advancing the industry. At a time when job creation and economic\ngrowth are so vital, we are excited that Skydweller will be hiring our bright\nengineers and helping to enrich our state’s economy,” said Governor Kevin\nStitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded in 2017, Skydweller recently closed a Series A\nfunding round in September 2019. The company currently has offices in the\nWashington, D.C. area, Madrid and Valdepe\u00c3\u00b1as, Spain. This rapidly growing\nmulti-national startup will be recruiting top-tier aerospace and software\nengineering talent to further the development and deployment of their\nultra-persistent, unmanned aircraft in both locations over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Skydweller was founded to develop ultra-persistent\naircraft to enable the next generation of connectivity and global\ninsights,” said CEO Dr. Robert Miller. “We are honored to be moving\nour corporate headquarters to Oklahoma, following in the footsteps of Oklahoma\naviation titans like Wiley Post.

“Skydweller has chosen the right state for their new\nheadquarters and testing facility,” US Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) said.\n“Because of our state’s remarkable skilled workforce, Skydweller will be\nan excellent addition to our aerospace industry, producing cutting edge\nunmanned aviation technology for our military. I am confident that this\nfacility will benefit our economy and our military both now, and in the\nfuture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s great to welcome Skydweller to Oklahoma as they\nannounce their plans to make Oklahoma City the new home of their US\nheadquarters. Oklahoma is home to innovative technology across all industries,\nso it’s no wonder they chose our state to expand their aerospace engineering to\ncontinue production of aircraft that can carry heavy payloads. This is exciting\nnews for Oklahoma City and our state,” said US Senator James Lankford\n(R-OK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a commitment to STEM education and ongoing civic\nengagement, Skydweller will partner with local educational and state and\nfederal research institutions to further Oklahoma’s legacy of aviation and\naerospace innovation.
