Transformational Electric Flight Workshop and Expo

7-9 June 2017


The Transformational Electric Flight Workshop & Expo being held at the 2017 AIAA AVIATION Forum brings together speakers and attendees from industry, government and academia worldwide to explore the exciting developments in the aeronautics field occurring because of electric propulsion.

X-57

From small unmanned aircraft to personal transportation to high-altitude long endurance unmanned aircraft to commercial transports, electric propulsion technologies are opening up new missions and beginning to revolutionize traditional missions. Engage with many of the pioneers in the field, make new connections, hear the latest from regulators and researchers, and learn how electric propulsion may impact your job and your everyday life. Experts from around the world will talk about the newest technologies in propulsion, airframe design and batteries, and explore the intersection of information integration, deep learning and aviation.

The Transformational Electric Flight Workshop will also feature the 4th Joint Transformative Vertical Flight Workshop. Discover the efforts to refine an industry roadmap for emerging powered lift aircraft utilizing electric/hybrid power and distributed propulsion that offers the potential to fundamentally transform aircraft configurations and operational concepts. More information about the past Transformative Vertical Flight Workshops as well as the objectives and desired outcomes of these workshops can be found . 

The 2017 Electric Flight Workshop includes:

  • Interactive talks from industry pioneers, regulators, and researchers
  • An expo featuring companies utilizing electric propulsion to offer exciting new capabilities
  • Lunches with engaging speakers
  • Evening receptions for networking
  • 4th AHS/AIAA/SAE/NASA Transformative Vertical Flight Workshop
