RapidFlight has opened its headquarters in Manassas, Virginia. An opening event was attended by its team, friends, family, industry partners, board of directors, representatives from Cerberus Capital, and local media. In addition, city and state officials including Governor Glenn Youngkin, Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger, and Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick were in attendance and spoke during the ceremony.

"Today we cement our city's place as a worldwide leader in the production of unmanned aerial systems. Today we welcome RapidFlight to the city of Manassas," said Manassas Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger.

"This is success for sectors that demand the very best. When national security concerns and private sector demands are on the line, time and efficiency are critical. That's what the RapidFlight team recognised," added Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.

RapidFlight launched operations at 9617 Center Street in 2021. Over the course of two years the company has grown to a team of over 50 professionals, designed numerous unmanned aircraft systems, completed a 21-hour flight, and delivered solutions to their customers in record-breaking time with the integration of advanced additive manufacturing technologies. The grand opening follows the completion of a major renovation to the manufacturing facility which offers over 25,000 square-feet of space for the company to grow with.

"RapidFlight is mission focused and flight ready. We are committed to creating solutions that advance America's national security through our armed forces and through our allies. Our work will save lives and help defend the freedom that we all hold dear," says Jay Gundlach, Ph.D., RapidFlight's Chief Executive Officer.
