2026 International Powered Lift Conference (IPLC)

Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 December 2025

The International Powered Lift Conference (IPLC) focuses on the latest developments in vertical and/or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft research, concepts and programs.

IPLC is a joint technical meeting, cosponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), SAE International and VFS. SAE is the host organization this year and will incorporate IPLC into its AeroTech aerospace technology conference, 2–4 June 2026 at West Palm Beach, Florida.

Call for Papers

Technical papers are solicited for advancements in the arts, sciences, and technologies that apply to the design and operation of V/STOL and eV/STOL aircraft systems, including lift systems, attitude control systems, airframe configurations, subsystems, handling qualities and safety, navigation and air traffic control, noise and pollution suppression, ground handling, and ground time minimization.

Topics for the 2026 IPLC include:

  • Advanced Flight Controls, Cockpit Automation, and Autonomy of Crewed and Uncrewed Systems
  • Breaking Developments in V/STOL-Enabling Sciences and Technologies
  • Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Aircraft using Battery, Hybrid- or Hydrogen-Electric Energy Systems and/or Electric Motors for Powered Lift and Control
