2023 AIAA AVIATION Forum

Revolutionary Leaps Toward a New Age of Aviation

The first Age of Aviation proved that human flight was possible and developed aviation into a safe and viable transportation industry. The second Age of Aviation started with the development of the jet engine, which enabled higher speeds, improved safety, and paved the way for air travel accessibility for all. The next Age of Aviation will separate power from propulsion in conjunction with specialized materials and modern avionics and software to enable unique mission-specific aircraft, enhance people’s connectivity, and fully elevate human activity while reducing its environmental footprint.

AIAA AVIATION Forum is the only aviation event that covers the entire integrated spectrum of aviation business, research, development, and technology. The program features discussions with respected aviation leaders—providing a single, structured gathering to help attendees navigate the challenges and opportunities affecting the direction of global aviation policy, research and development, technological proliferation, environmental issues, and emerging markets.
