Our History
The Ohio Aerospace Institute is a 501(c) (3), not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 as a joint initiative of the NASA Glenn Research Center, the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the State of Ohio, ten Ohio public and private universities granting doctoral degrees in aerospace-related engineering disciplines, and numerous companies engaged in aerospace activities. In 2023, OAI formed a collaborative affiliation with Parallax Advanced Research, also a 501(c) (3), not-for-profit organization, to drive innovation and technological advancements in Ohio and for the nation.
