Hosted by the AIAA Northern Ohio Section, in collaboration with the International Women’s Air and Space Museum.
The AIAA Northern Ohio Section is teaming up with the International Women’s Air and Space Museum to offer a dinner and program focused Sandra Durbin, who joined the U.S. Navy in 1966 and subsequently became the first Black female Air Traffic Controller in the U.S. Navy, while simultaneously becoming the first in the U.S. Durbin will explore her groundbreaking career and service at both Naval Air Stations Pensacola and North Island. She will also share her post-military service activities and her work as the 2022-2023 California AMVETS Commander engaging with and serving fellow veterans.
Hosted by the AIAA Northern Ohio Section, in collaboration with the International Women’s Air and Space Museum.
The AIAA Northern Ohio Section is teaming up with the International Women’s Air and Space Museum to offer a dinner and program focused on Casey Grant as she shares her story as one of Delta Airlines’ first Black female flight attendants and a new project—International Black Aviation Day.
Hosted by the AIAA Orange County Section, via Zoom.
The Orange County Section is hosting a talk by Robert Zubrin, President of Pioneer Astronautics, an aerospace R&D company located in Lakewood, Colorado; and is the Founder and President of the Mars Society. Uniting the entrepreneurial genius of Silicon Valley with the hard-won technological expertise of the old aerospace industry, a new generation of space companies has been born whose upstart members are revolutionizing our prospects. In this talk, Zubrin will examine the possibilities. Starting with a discussion of the present-day breakthroughs, Zubrin will take a deeper look at where it leads: to ultrafast global travel through suborbital space, to new industries on orbit, and to human settlement of the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, the outer solar system, and ultimately the stars.
Hosted by the AIAA Los Angeles-Las Vegas Section.
This talk, by Prof. Rajkumar S. Pant, will provide a short description of the recent incidents in which an un-authorized aerial object (claimed as a surveillance balloon by US authorities, and a breakaway civilian airship by Chinese authorities) was shot down by an F-22 aircraft. This was followed by further sightings and shooting down of several similar (and not so similar) objects. We will describe the incidents based on the reports available, and also provide our insights on the issue, to try and obtain a solution to this modern conundrum, which has lead to a worsening of the diplomatic relations between USA and China.
wThis event is free and open to the public.
Join Tuskegee University for this virtual presentation.
Tuskegee University is the only Historically Black College and University to offer an ABET accredited Aerospace Engineering program. Come learn about how Tuskegee University continues to produce alumni who excel in aerospace. Javed Khan, Professor and Head of the Aerospace Science Engineering Department, will share information about Tuskegee’s cutting-edge program.
Following Khan’s presentation, Ken Garrett, Director of Model-Based Systems Engineering at Lockheed Martin, will lead a panel discussion with his fellow Tuskegee alumni as they discuss their preparation to become aerospace engineers at Tuskegee University, their professional careers, and their work within the AIAA domains—Aeronautics, Aerospace R&D, and Space.
The 2023 ASCEND Call for Content is an opportunity to share your expertise and influence the 2023 program. As we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, it’s essential to have technology and infrastructure to support our goals and a thriving space economy to fuel the missions. This short webinar will provide a high-level overview of the challenges and opportunities of Space Exploration and Infrastructure, as well as expanding and evolving the space economy.
Speakers:
Attendees will engage with leading experts in the field and gain a deeper understanding of the content being sought for the 2023 program. Speakers will engage in conversation to spark ideas for attendees to participate in the 2023 ASCEND Call for Content and provide tips to help you submit a session or technical paper. A live Q&A will be held at the end of the webinar.
Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Andrew Neely, Associate Dean for Research Engagement, UNSW Canberra.

Aerothermodynamic heating is an unavoidable consequence of high-speed flight. This presents design challenges for hypersonic vehicles that must be understood and addressed. Even at moderate hypersonic Mach numbers, elevated structural temperatures can distort the airframe of a vehicle, its control surfaces, and propulsion flow paths, degrading performance and reducing life. Multifidelity simulation approaches must be optimized for an appropriate balance between efficiency and accuracy, depending upon their application in the design cycle. Detailed validation cases are required to build confidence in these approaches but these data sets, whether from ground-based or flight experiments continue to be limited. This webinar will explore these challenges and discuss recent experimental approaches developed at UNSW Canberra to build confidence in numerical design tools.
Are you looking to get more involved with AIAA and add to your resume? Opportunities are available to peer review journal articles. AIAA’s journals are the best resource for staying current on the latest aerospace research and development. Reporting on the most important aerospace advances, AIAA’s eight active technical journals feature original research papers spanning the spectrum of aerospace science and technology.
In this online webinar learn more about the peer-review process for AIAA journals from Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors. Discover how you can help to evaluate the technical content, importance to the field, style and clarity, and completeness of manuscripts — all while advancing the industry and your own career.
We can’t wait to meet you! To get the most out of your session we have a homework assignment. Don’t worry, it only takes a few minutes. Please:
1. Familiarize yourself with our journals by visiting: Journal Scopes and Content | AIAA
2. Consider which journal(s) interest you and intersect with your areas of expertise.
3. Be ready to create an account in ScholarOne Manuscripts (manuscriptcentral.com) if you don’t already have one.
To express interest in becoming a reviewer, please fill out our survey .
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global workforce has changed significantly. Against this backdrop, other factors, such as working from home, the great resignation, and the arrival of advanced technologies, such as automation and artificial intelligence, continuously impact talent and the workforce. During this session, the obstacles and opportunities related to the U.S. aerospace workforce are revisited through a panel discussion. The envisioned conversation intends to provide an opportunity to gain an industry perspective on some of the pain points and relevant opportunities for the workforce. Observation of historical facts and gaps—where more efforts are needed to nourish talent for invigorating the U.S. aerospace industry—is vital.
This webinar is arranged in collaboration with the AIAA Society and Aerospace Technology Outreach Committee (AIAA SAT OC). AIAA SAT OC regularly investigates the impact of aerospace technology on society. In this context, that impact is considered from the contributions of the U.S. aerospace workforce to state-of-the-art technologies that in turn lead to societal outcomes.
