ASCEND connects the civil, commercial, and national security space sectors, along with adjacent industries, to embrace the opportunities and address the challenges that come with increased activity in space. Building our sustainable off-world future requires long-term thinking. Strategic planning, innovation, scientific exploration, and effective regulations and standards will help us preserve space for future generations. ASCEND enables the t...

The AIAA DEFENSE Forum is focused on aerospace technologies and their applications in national security. The 2022 forum will explore how the science and technology community can advance research and development to rapidly provide operationally relevant capabilities to the warfighter. This Secret/NOFORN event provides the ideal venue for leaders from government, military, industry, and academia to advance and accelerate modernization.

Join AIAA online for the 2021 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum, 9–11 August 2021, the only forum that covers both aeronautics and space propulsion and energy technologies in one place. The 2021 forum will explore how innovations in the propulsion and energy industries are enabling sustainability. Topics include electric propulsion, gas turbine engines, hybrid rockets, air-breathing propulsion, advanced energy technologies, and more. Disc...

Organized by the AIAA Inlets, Nozzles & Propulsion Systems Integration Technical Committee. PAW Objectives: Assess the numerical prediction capability (meshing, numerics, turbulence modeling, high-performance computing requirements, etc.) of current-generation CFD technology/codes for inlets, diffusers, and nozzles and their propulsion-specific boundary conditions. Develop practical modeling guidelines for CFD prediction of propulsion flow...

Every year AIAA has training for the Section Officers. This training comes in a variety of ways: Webinars, Region Advisory Committee (RAC) meetings, and the annual Regional Leadership Conference. The Regional Leadership Conferences are a great opportunity to meet fellow officers from the many different sections within AIAA. AIAA Regions and Sections vary in size from a few dozen people to many hundreds of people. The Regional Leadership Confer...

The confluence of machine intelligence and aeronautics is the next great revolution in air transportation. In attempting to introduce an entirely new approach to vehicle management into the world’s safest transportation system, the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) industry must merge two entirely different cultures: 1) Aviation safety-based and inherently risk averse2) Market-driven and experiment-based — while managing performance an...
