Oklahoma Issues Airport Development Grants
The funds will be used for a variety of projects

Following approvals for airport improvements in the state as part of the Airport Construction Grant Program, the Oklahoma Aerospace and Aeronautics Commission also authorized the first awards given under the recently introduced aircraft and space engine test cell grant program. It includes two grants for Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, with an initial $2.7 million allocation for a second engine test cell at Kratos subsidiary and turboprop engine maintainer Consolidated Turbine Specialists, located at Bristow Jones Memorial Airport (K3F7).

The second grant of $5.4 million will help fund the creation of three engine test cells to test newly-manufactured engines at a recently announced military engine manufacturing facility that will also be located in Bristow.
