Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach and RDSwin Student softwareAircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design—from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. Widely used in industry and government aircraft design groups, it is also the design text at major universities around the world. A virtual encyclopedia of engineering, it is known for its completeness, easy-to-read style, and real-world approach to the process of design. The RDSwin Student software allows engineering students to take an aircraft design from first conceptual layout through functional analysis, leading to performance, range, weight, and cost results. By automating the “grunt work” of vehicle analysis, RDSwin Student makes time for the student to truly learn design.

Challenges and Impacts of Remote Work: A Workforce Development Panel Discussion
The Innovation Stage @ the HUB
Between April and September 2021, more than 24 million American workers quit their jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. How has this impacted the aerospace industry’s ability to attract and retain workers? How will immediate and future staffing needs be met? How are existing workforce policies being reinvented today? What actions can employers take to meet the challenges? The AIAA Corporate Member Strategic Advisory Committee (CMSAC) is bringing this timely topic to the HUB to encourage robust dialogue and help employers address today’s workforce development challenges.
