Forum 360: Idea Challenge

In partnership with the Rising Leaders in Aerospace, Young Professionals from across the industry will collaborate in teams of 4 to form a pitch on their perspective of Bringing the World Closer Together with Aerospace Solutions, and present a 10-minute pitch on their proposed idea. The teams will be judged by the live and virtual audience based on the technical merit, feasibility, and positive social impact of their idea. This Forum 360 will be a unique opportunity to hear from the industry’s next generation of leaders and engineers.

SDM Lecture: Certifying Innovative Composite Applications

This lecture summarizes existing practices for composite aircraft certification, with an emphasis on structural aspects, and discusses the limitations and lessons learned from today’s “traditional” composite structures. It describes procedures that can be used to certify advanced materials and processes which may have increased levels of variability, unfamiliar structural performance, nonclassical (e.g., nonlocal) behavior, and randomized properties. Provided such complexity can be reliably controlled by maintaining repeatable materials and processes in fabricating and assembling parts, both design and production certification can be achieved. The related technological advances from real applications that meet safety, form, fit and functional requirements, while achieving product value, will yield the practical experience, knowledge, and capable workforce necessary for future improvements.

Extended Q&A With Lori Garver

Didn’t get your question answered during the Thursday morning plenary? Come to the HUB to hear Lori Garver, Chief Executive Officer, Earthrise Alliance, continue the conversation on how “Engineers Build the World”.

Forum 360: The Next Challenge for Aerospace: Global Climate Change

This session will explore the challenges and opportunities that global climate change represents for the aerospace community. We will frame the key science, economics and policy issues and discuss how aerospace engineers can shape the future by developing technologies that can measure and analyze environmental impact, as well technologies that will successfully mitigate aviation’s impact on the environment.

ICYMI: Forum 360 Rising Leaders Idea Challenge

Did you miss the Wednesday afternoon Forum 360 where teams of aerospace’s rising leaders pitched there perspective on bringing the world closer? Perhaps you didn’t miss it, but have more questions or want to meet the winners of the Idea Challenge? Stop by the HUB for a recap on the winning pitch and opportunity to network with aerospace’s up & coming leaders.

RLA Reception

Network with fellow young professionals and plan for the week ahead. You’ll come away with at least a handful of new contacts, connections, and support.

The Next Giant Leap

What elements need to be in place to drive game-changing technology? Lightfoot will use Apollo as an example to explain why the steps may not be as linear as you think.
