Aviation Unleashed

The seeds of the future exist in the developments of today. Aviation Unleashed, a thought provoking conference to explore the frontiers of the imaginable in aviation and what emerging technology revolutions could enable for society and aviation.

What: Aviation Unleashed Conference
When:
October 18-20, 2010
Where: Hampton Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia
Cost: Registration is Free

Imagine the societal and technological landscape of the future and its implications for aviation. In the next 50 years, how will travel needs be shaped by developments in telepresence? Envision machine intelligence, robotics, new materials and energetics leading to a plethora of new vehicles offering efficient on-demand mobility for people and goods, serving new markets and missions. How will free flight airliners, air taxis, UAVs, PAVs, airborne wind energy platforms and a host of other emerging aviation systems utilize the future airspace? What are the technologies that will form the aviation innovation frontiers in the coming years?

This visionary conference will include vibrant discussion panels on Emerging Societal Needs, Aviation Game Changing Technologies, and Transformational Flight Capabilities. Add to that speakers on aviation technology and forecasting across energetic, aerodynamics, structures/materials, propulsion, communications, navigation and machine intelligence PLUS indoor flight demonstrations by Parrot (ever controlled a UAV on an iPhone?), Joby Energy, NASA Langley Research Center and others.

Join us on October 18-20 for Aviation Unleashed, a conference sponsored by NASA and the National Institute of Aerospace.
