02 November 2016 NEC, Birmingham UK

AVIATION AERODYNAMICS IS THE ONLY ENGINEERING-FOCUSED EVENT ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS. THIS EVENT AIMS TO REDUCE FUEL USAGE AND INCREASE FLIGHT EFFICIENCY With the recent UK government investment into the aerospace industry offering a further £365 million towards technological research and development and creating 2,000 jobs, there is opportunity for significant advances in aerospace technology in the UK. Aerodynamic engineering is at the forefront of these advances, being the primary way of increasing efficiency in flight. Aviation Aerodynamics 2016 will give attendees a unique opportunity to learn from high level engineers in internal aerodynamic initiatives such as boundary-layer ingestion and the latest Sabre (Synergetic Air- Breathing Rocket Engine) project. Attendees will also leave with key engineering solutions regarding external aerodynamics including the latest laminar technology and new design ideas for aircraft structures. Furthermore, attendees will take away key lessons learnt from the space industry in order to strengthen their company’s position within the aviation industry. Aviation Aerodynamics 2016 is co-located with Brakes 2016, taking place on 03 November 2016, and the Advanced Engineering Show, the UK’s leading meeting place for engineering professionals with over 12,000 attendees. Delegates can attend two days of cross industry insights with an exclusive joint seminar pass.
