The ever-popular Vertical Lift Aircraft Design Conference will be held once again in the beautiful bay-side city of San Francisco. Mark your calendar to attend this exciting conference for a look into the future of design for vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
The Conference will consist of six half-day sessions: An Opening Session, a Special Session on the Joint Multi-role Rotorcraft (JMR) Program, and four Technical Sessions. The Opening Session will include presentations on OSD's Engineered Resilient Systems Initiative; the Sikorsky X2; the Eurocopter X3, the AeroVironment Hummingbird Nano UAV, and the OSD Future Vertical Lift. The Technical Sessions will focus on Advanced Concepts, Aircraft Systems, Design Tools and Rotors.
