The AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference continues to be the leading international platform for the exchange of knowledge in the field of aeroacoustics. It provides researchers and engineers from academia, industry, and government a unique opportunity to share recent findings and explore future research directions. Contributions are invited on all aspects of noise generation, propagation, and control for aerospace vehicles, novel airborne systems as well as other industrial applications such as wind energy.

The technical program will feature theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies presenting original research or innovative approaches, with a particular focus on the rapidly evolving landscape of air transportation, considering their impact on structures and communities. This includes significant activity in Urban Air Mobility and Unmanned Air Systems, where the development of quieter, more sustainable aerial vehicles is driving intense aeroacoustic research. Contributions related to low-carbon aircraft technologies and novel flight concepts are especially encouraged. Comprehensive reviews and topical surveys will also be considered.

While the conference topics are outlined below, submissions on related subjects — including cross-sector applications of noise reduction technologies and non-aerospace research with potential aerospace impact — are welcome.

Special Sessions

HAWT Workshop
The Hybrid Anechoic Wind Tunnel Workshop brings together researchers interested in hybrid anechoic aeroacoustic wind tunnels and their application. The workshop serves as a forum to present and discuss results from new experimental campaigns, as well as exchange updates, opportunities and issues related to hybrid anechoic tunnels. We do also welcome contributions concerning computations related to HAWTs, for example regarding validation or the analysis of the setup. The workshop will include a session with submitted and invited paper presentations, and a discussion session. Contact William Devenport ([email protected]) or Andreas Fischer ([email protected]) for further information.
