Spotlight: Osage Nation Begins Construction of the Windshape State-of-the-Art Testing Facility at Skyway36

The Osage Nation's Skyway36 Droneport and Technology Innovation Center is thrilled to announce the commencement of construction on WindShape's cutting-edge unmanned aerospace (UAS) testing facility, which will feature state-of-the-art indoor drone testing and validation capabilities.

Skyway36, a unique UAS testing center within Osage Nation, is conveniently located less than 5 miles from downtown Tulsa and a mere 10 miles from Tulsa International Airport. It serves as the main access point to Skyway Range, a Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight UAS flight test range spanning 1,200 square miles. This range was established through a partnership with Osage LLC, Oklahoma State University, and Tulsa Innovation Labs.
