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 speci...

Requirements from DoD & Government demands for increased spending year over year. In 2021, $7.5 billion was budgeted for a variety of robotic platforms and related Air – Land – Water (UxV) technologies. Unmanned Aircraft Systems future spending estimates are $10.6 billion annually and projected to be $13 billion in 2030. Military R&D is projected to add another $65 billion over 10 years. Unmanned Ground (UGV), Underwater (U...

AIAA is excited to offer the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum as a hybrid event—meaning you will have the option to participate in person in San Diego, California, or virtually, based on your preference and level of comfort. The 2022 forum will explore how sustainability is enabled by aerospace research, development, and technology. Join your peers, in person or online, for the world's largest aerospace R&D event featuring five days of inspir...

DoD has reported an expected Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) growth rate between 2015 and 2035. It is expected that federal agency UAS fleets will grow from a few hundred to approximately 10,000, with over 90 percent of these vehicles categorized as Nano, Micro, or Small UAS. In all cases, the UAS is the transport for the payload, be it sensors or cargo. The number and type of UAS developed, acquired, and deployed will be driven by mission ne...

Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Remotely Piloted Aircraft have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what’s next? Analysts still predict growth in this industry, estimating a total increase to just over $89 billion in the next decade. Not only is the military expected to sustain its backing...
