What started more than a decade ago as a small gathering of aviation entrepreneurs has in 2018 grown to a eagerly-awaited presence of men and women excited to share their “next big thing” with the tens of thousands of visitors to Oshkosh’s Wittman Regional Airport. The cutting-edge technology and products expected to drive general aviation’s next generation will come together for a single day on Tuesday, July 24, with an Innovations Day of programming and events. Dave Chaimson, EAA’s vice president of marketing and business development said, “Many of the innovations seen at Oshkosh over the past five decades are now commonplace in aviation.”
