A record number of abstracts were submitted for this jam-packed three-day meeting, which includes the following concurrent events:
Aeromechanics for Advanced Vertical Flight provides a forum for technical paper presenations on emerging aeromechanics challenges and solution methods for future vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, encompassing dynamics, aerodynamics, acoustics and flight mechanics. Joint sessions with IPLC cover applications ranging from advanced rotorcraft to jet-borne vertical flight and electric VTOL aircraft. 7th Annual Electric VTOL Symposium includes invited presentations from leaders in this exciting field. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn about and discuss the latest advancements in eVTOL, and the challenges that still remain. Invited presentations from all areas of eVTOL will be discussed, from researchers and leaders in academia, industry and government agencies from around the globe. The Vertical Flight Society has been leading efforts in electric VTOL since 2014 and has a dedicated website on Electric VTOL News. Short Course on eVTOL Fundamentals: led by Dr. Anubhav Datta, will be held all day on Monday, Jan. 20 in the Donner Conference Room (Gateway 2nd Floor Level). Badge pick-up will start at 7:00 am in front of the conference room. The cost of the course is $300 ($175 for current student members of VFS). Short course attendees will receive an email communication and link to download course materials before the short course begins. Download the course description.
