Speaking at RAeS Events offers considerable recognition of your knowledge and expertise, enabling you to share with our Members and wider industry personnel, your research, company projects and views, to a relevant and targeted audience.
There are many opportunities for academics and aviation & aerospace professionals to present at the Royal Aeronautical Society. Call for Papers will be listed across a broad range of subjects, across the 26 specialist interest areas. Accepted papers may also be considered for inclusion in the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Aeronautical Journal, subject to the refereeing process.

Call for Papers
3rd Aircraft Structural Design Conference
9-11 October 2012
Delft University, The Netherlands
Organier: Structures and Materials Group
The Conference seeks contributions covering current research and thinking focused on the design and manufacture of future and civil military air-vehicle structures, both manned and uninhabited. The scope includes consideration of innovative forms and design scenarios required to sustain a growing industrial sector in a world increasingly concerned with the threat of climate change.
The conference will cover the challenges resulting from consideration of the complete aircraft life cycle from initial concept to final disposal. This broad range includes design with manufacturing/cost constraints, high volume/low cost manufacture and easy re-use/disposal considerations.
Contributions are sought covering the advanced and innovative structural concepts together with the design methodologies and computational techniques required to support the design of current and future aircraft.
A special session in the conference will be devoted to the role of structural mechanics in aircraft design to commemmorate the revival of the Koiter Institute at the Delft University of Technology. The Institute was formed in honor of Professor Warner T Koiter who is known for his pioneering work on the theory of thin-walled structures. Authors are encouraged to submit papers specifically for the session which they believe follow the research paths initiated by Professor Koiter.
- Structural designs for the next generation of aircraft
- To meet the environmental challengesTo meet high volume traffic requirements
- To meet high volume manufacturing requirements
- To meet cost and requirement constraints
- To meet emerging requirements for improved safety and crash worthiness
- To reduce time to market
- Design with novel or advanced materials
- Innovative use of CRFP including aeroelastic tailoring
- Re-cycling and re-use of CRFP
- CRFP structural design for maintenance and repair
- Role of GLARE and other fibre-metal laminates (CentrA1, TiGrE, etc)
- Role for advanced metal alloys
- Novel materials
- Manufacturing with novel materials
- Certification of novel materials

Flight Simulation Research
Wednesday 28 - Thursday 29 November 2012, London UK
Organisers: Flight Simulation Groups
During the last ten years, flight simulation has benefitted from major advances
in computing, image generation and electrical actuation. During this time,
simulation has also advanced in other sectors, including engineering design,
medicine, business and gaming. The aim of this conference is to bring together
developers, researchers, academics and users of simulation technology to share
understanding and to appreciate the potential benefits these new technologies can bring across the broad spectrum of simulation. This conference will enable pilots, manufacturers, operators, regulators and engineers to understand the potential advances offered by other industries and disciplines and equally for specialists
in other sectors to appreciate the capabilities of modern flight simulation and the
potential for improvement.
This two-day conference will focus on flight simulation technologies on the first
day and will cover the more general aspects of simulation on day two. Papers
are therefore sought from both specialists in flight simulation, but also from
developers in other industries and sectors of engineering. The Royal Aeronautical
Society Flight Simulation Group leads many international initiatives and, with new
developments in aerospace in air traffic management, synthetic environments,
sensor technologies and accident prevention, this conference is timely, providing a
forum for flight simulation experts to learn of developments in other areas.
The conference will provide an opportunity for experts in sectors outside flight
simulation to contribute new papers on simulation and to learn about current
technologies in addition to problems in flight simulation requiring novel solutions.
The conference seeks papers from simulation experts from other sectors including aircraft design, aerodynamics, automotive industries, biology, medicine and human factors. In these areas, simulation systems and tools have been developed for discrete - event modelling, intelligent agents, visualisation, driver evaluation and management training.
The conference will comprise four sessions:
• Advances in modelling • New technologies
• Training effectiveness • Advances in simulation in other market sectors
