This on-demand webinar is free of charge and is open to the public.

Want to learn more about the benefits of AIAA membership?

Join us for “A Journey Toward MDAO,” presented by Kumar Bhatia, The Boeing Company (retired). Hosted by the AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Technical Committee, Bhatia will re-present his award lecture and discuss advancing the uses of MDAO (multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization). Bhatia received the 2022 AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Award for pioneering use of MDO in transport aircraft and developing a rapid approach for aircraft MDO employing appropriate fidelity analyses.

HYSKY 2025 H2Hub Summit: Meet the Winners

The HYSKY Society is thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual H2Hub Summit, scheduled for March 19, 2025. Last year, the summit embarked on a groundbreaking journey by uniting all seven DOE-selected Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and a passionate community committed to forging a sustainable, hydrogen-powered future. Together, we laid actionable pathways for clean hydrogen to decarbonize key sectors and drive significant reductions in U.S. carbon emissions.

John ValasekMultiple-Time-Scale Nonlinear Output Feedback Control of Systems With Model Uncertainties by Dr. John Valasek

Abstract: The Geometric Singular Perturbation theory is a powerful control law development tool for multiple-timescale systems because it provides physical insight into the evolution of the states in more than one timescale. This presentation presents the theory for a nonlinear, multiple-time-scale, output feedback tracking controller for a class of nonlinear, nonstandard systems with slow and fast states, slow and fast actuators, and model uncertainties. The class of systems is motivated by aircraft with uncertain inertias, control derivatives, engine time-constant, and without direct measurement of angle-of-attack and sideslip angle.



Manoranjan MajjiInformation front-end of aerospace systems: recent advances and experiences by Dr. Manoranjan Majji

Abstract: Recent advances in information fusion and smart sensing technologies for relative navigation of aerospace vehicles are discussed. Sensor physics and information processing principles to integrate vision-based sensor data with inertial measurements are presented, along with discussions associated with signal processing of an ultra-precise optomechanical accelerometer being developed at Texas A&M. The talk also discusses aeromagnetic sensing and localization approaches as potential alternatives to the global positioning system based approaches for localization.

ADDITIV Aerospace

After the success of their previous events, ADDITIV will be hosting a new 1-day virtual event 18 March, from 8AM to 6PM EDT: ADDITIV Aerospace! Free for all attendees and exhibitors, the online event presents an opportunity for the professional AM and Aerospace communities to gather together to learn, share and connect.

This international event will offer expert panel discussions, multiple networking sessions, and workshops with leading AM companies. Participants will be able to meet the users and makers of technology related to aerospace as well as hear from the most innovative experts in the sector. The panel discussions will cover a range of topics including AM in aviation, material development, safety and certification and space exploration with speakers from NASA, Rolls-Royce, ArianeGroup, the European Space Agency, Collins Aerospace, Orbital Composites, Eaton Aerospace and more.

2021 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition (AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum)

The 2021 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum will be held in an online-only format. 

The AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum is the world’s only conference event to showcase both aeronautics and space propulsion and energy technologies in a single venue. From propellers and jets to rockets and deep space propulsion, and from terrestrial energy to aerospace power systems, this AIAA forum is unmatched by any competitive event.

SciTechxWebinar: Flying Is Safe—Is Air Travel?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on commercial aviation and the over 65 million jobs directly and indirectly connected. The aerospace industry is not simply waiting for the pandemic to pass but is actively seeking and testing data to drive solutions today.

This two-part webinar was facilitated by well-known aerospace journalist Miles O’Brien and AIAA Executive Director Dan Dumbacher.

In Part I we heard from leaders of the global air travel ecosystem on how they are working together to build the traveling public’s confidence back with real data and communication.

Part II took a deeper technical dive into what and how data within the global air travel ecosystem are being tested, what are the results, and what are the next steps to ensure that not just flying is safe, but air travel is too.

2023 IEEE Aerospace Conference

The International Conference for Aerospace Experts, Academics, Military Personnel, and Industry Leaders.

The international IEEE Aerospace Conference, with AIAA and PHM Society as technical cosponsors, is organized to promote interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors.

The annual, weeklong conference, is set in a stimulating and thought provoking environment. The 2023 conference will be the 44th.

3rd Cognitive Communications for Aerospace Applications (CCAA) Workshop

The IEEE Cleveland Section and NASA Glenn Research Center invite participants to attend a three-day workshop: 21–23 June 2021, held virtually (more information coming soon).

This is the third workshop on cognitive telecommunications systems co-sponsored by IEEE Northeastern Ohio Chapter and NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH. The aim of this workshop is to bring together Researchers, Engineers, Technologists, and leaders across industry, government, and academia to discuss and present their recent advancements and future interest in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning with applications toward the development of cognitive telecommunication systems for aerospace.
