Background
The headquarters for the four-state Central Region is located in Kansas City, Missouri. For over a century, the Central Region has been recognized for its aviation manufacturing. Wichita, Kansas is known as the Air Capital of the World, where 35 percent of U.S. general aviation aircraft manufacturing occurs. The largest general aviation and commercial avionics manufactures are located in the Region, which is home to production of large commercial airframes, as well as production of F-15 and F-18 fighter jets. The Region has a very rich military aviation presence, as it is the home of U.S. Strategic Command, the Big Red One, and the B-2 Bomber.
STEM Aviation and Space Education
Within the region, FAA's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Program is an integral part of agency outreach and the national education system. The program was established to expose students to aviation and aerospace careers and to promote STEM education.
FAA Regional Administrators
FAA's nine Regional Administrator offices are strategically located across the country, each serving the public by supporting and coordinating operation of a national airspace system that ensures airports are safe, efficient, environmentally responsible, and meet the needs of travelers.
