From the frontlines in the cyber defense of the aviation industry, hear how Aviation Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) is promoting valuable cybersecurity information sharing, situational awareness, and operational excellence. Aviation ISAC complements AIAA’s Cybersecurity Program goal of building cybersecurity foundations for the aerospace community.

Aerospace America Staff Reporter Paul Brinkmann will dig further into how the United States Aviation Climate Action Plan is leading toward net-zero emissions by 2050. This one-on-one Q&A with Jim Hileman, Chief Scientific and Technical Advisor for Environment, FAA, will immediately follow Hileman’s remarks during the morning Forum 360 session.

During this candid discussion with early career engineers, we will challenge them on what they would have done differently if they could dial back the clock. Using an “empty chair” format this panel will encourage dialogue that extends into the audience. Audience participants will be invited to rotate in and out of the conversation and join the panel on stage.

Achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is of utmost priority for the industry. It will require the best talent and cohesive action from the aerospace engineering community. Leaders from Airbus Americas, Boeing, and GE Aviation will discuss their plans to drive change through pilot programs and long-term investments.

Design of a new aircraft fuselage requires engineers to know how the entire fuselage will behave and perform in every type of configuration and every type of loading condition, so that an accurate simulation can be made, which leads to a safe and cost-effective maintenance schedule that keeps the airplane functioning for 20 years or more.

Fuselage design follows a development lifecycle that includes analysis of sub-systems and can easily have over 2 million components in total.

• Aircraft sub-systems such as a landing gear or wing flap actuation system has many parts involved, different load cases to consider, and since most of these sub-systems are undergoing constant movement and/or constant temperature change, fatigue and accurate part life prediction is critically important when designing a sub-system maintenance schedule.
• Aircraft components can be quite complicated, since material choice, cost to manufacture, weight, and structural integrity are all factored in, requiring vast amounts of design trade-off studies and balancing cost-to-benefit.

Scott Joseph knew when he was seven years old that he wanted to be a race car driver, a baseball player, or an airline pilot. That last choice turned out to be the best decision that he ever made and one that provided him with a lifetime of great memories! Hear his story in the HUB.
