Environmental Sustainability: Net-Zero Energy Transitions How do we reduce harm to our environment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050? This session will cover interdisciplinary efforts underway across fields such as hydrogen, sustainable fuels, operational mitigations and hybrid-electric technologies, as well as policy and funding considerations. |
Economic Sustainability: Simulations and Numerical Methods Simulations and the numerical methods powering them are essential in modern engineering and science. Nowhere is this more true than in aerospace. In this breakout session, the objective is to discuss the capabilities of state-of-the art simulation software, numerical methods capabilities that would be beneficial to the aerospace industry, and emerging trends in numerical methods that are being closely followed by aerospace industry. |
Economic Sustainability: Advanced Manufacturing Rapid advances in manufacturing technologies have emerged as viable solutions to economic sustainability in aviation and aerospace manufacturing. This breakout session will explore new ways of adapting part production to generate innovative parts with advanced capabilities and competitive advantages in performance. |
Electric Aviation: Innovations, Retrofits, Training, eVTOLs Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) — including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, and other aerial vehicles — presents a promising vision of efficient and sustainable urban transportation. What are the vital components of robust AAM ecosystems? What physical and digital infrastructure needs to be put in place, as well as workforce development? |
