Overview:

Aviation is an essential component of the world economy and global security. The success of aviation is due to technological innovations that have provided an unprecedented level of capability, capacity, and efficiency. 

AIAA AVIATION 2013 is a premier, forward-looking forum designed to showcase recent innovations and achievements in aviation, highlight new initiatives and plans, and address key issues that need to be resolved in order to define clear roadmaps for future progress. 

AVIATION 2013:

• Engages those involved in the entire product life-cycle from disciplinary research to product development to system operation and maintenance.
• Eliminates barriers by addressing the global nature of aviation requirements, opportunities, regulatory limitations, research activities, development programs, and operations.
• Provides the breadth and depth of content and audience participation that is necessary for tackling the issues critical to safeguarding and shaping the future of aviation.

AVIATION 2013 tackles these questions:

• What are the trends for commercial, military, business, general, unmanned, and rotorcraft aviation? 
• What economic and investment considerations will affect the future of aviation?
• What major challenges face aviation – including operations, capacity, capability, efficiency, security, resource availability and environmental issues?
• How will these challenges drive technology development and implementation? 
• What are the key emerging technologies? 
• What policy and regulatory issues may constrain aviation’s development? 
• What effect will globalization have on the future of aviation?

Seven general sessions focus on:

• Commercial Aviation:  Global Outlook, Opportunities, and Challenges
• Military Aviation:  Future Challenges Facing Military Aviation
• Business Aviation, General Aviation, and Rotorcraft:  Global Outlook, Opportunities, and Challenges
• The Connectivity Challenge: Protecting Critical Assets in a Networked World
• The Energy Imperative
• Developing the Market for Unmanned Aerial Systems
