Resumo: The establishment of the aerospace science in Brazil is the subject of this investigation under the perspective of Science History. Mainly by analyzing official documents and legislation, we search for the ideas and concepts that guided the actions in three distinct moments: when Casimiro Montenegro Filho created the Aeronautics Technological Institute in the 1940 decade, known by the nationalism of the Vargas era; on the research efforts that permitted the foundation of the aircraft maker Embraer during the development-oriented decade of 1950 and the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship; and in the elaboration of the Brazilian space program, between the dictatorial regime and re-democratization. It starts from the hypothesis that the factor which led to the wellsucceeded nowadays performance of the country on building aircraft was the adoption of a model based on the tripod science teaching research industrial production. Meanwhile, in the space sector, internal difficulties and others imposed by international circumstances impede the goals of the Brazilian Complete Space Mission from being fully achieved. The relevancy of this work relies on the understanding that aviation and the reaching of space constitute state projects for the national modernization
