www.vtol.org Mike Hirschberg, Executive Director AHS International — The Vertical Flight Technical Society www.vtol.org Uber graphic, April 2017 1 www.vtol.org . The global Vertical Flight Technical Society – Founded in 1943 as the American Helicopter Society – Everything from VTOL MAVs/UAS to rotorcraft and eVTOL to STOVL . Expands knowledge about vertical flight CFD of Joby S4, Aug 2014 technology and promotes its application around the world . Advances safety and acceptability . Advocates for vertical flight R&D funding . Helps educate and support today’s and tomorrow’s vertical flight engineers and leaders VFF Scholarship Winners at AHS Forum 71, May 2015 2 www.vtol.org . AHS has a proud history of advocacy and support – Worked with NASA, Army and Air Force to save the NFAC wind tunnel – Helped in establishment of NASA-Army joint office, VLRCOEs, NRTC, RITA/VLC . Provided major foundational support to transformative initiatives – Joint Strike Fighter/F-35B STOVL – V-22 Osprey tiltrotor . Providing major foundational support to new transformative initiatives – Future Vertical Lift (FVL)/Joint Multi-Role (JMR) – Electric and hybrid-electric VTOL (eVTOL) We exist to advance vertical flight! 3 www.vtol.org . Transformative Vertical Flight Workshops – Building community & developing industry roadmap – https://nari.arc.nasa.gov/wghome . Since 2014, annual series with NASA, etc. 1.
