ATIO, CEIAT, and the LTA TC have come together to create a unique international event that will explore this theme of Aviation: Industry Without Borders. The joint conference will bring together researchers, designers, analysts, manufacturers, integrators, and operators in a diverse program intended to foster the exchange of ideas and to spark dialogue on how to enhance aviation and the aviation system of today while preparing for the needs and issues of tomorrow. Participants will explore new systems analysis methodologies, discuss new aircraft designs and manufacturing techniques, and identify potential ways in which the community can address the challenges it now faces in security, economics, and the environment.
Suggested Topics for Papers To facilitate the exploration of the conference vision, papers are sought that discuss innovation and optimization in the fields of technology, integration, and operations.
Technology
Paper topics may include: Design of aircraft including light sport aircraft, VLJs, supersonic civil aircraft, rotorcraft (including high-speed cruise capability), airships, aerostats, V/STOL aircraft, and UASs Impact of recent FAA (Part 125/135) and EASA regulation changes on all types of aircraft, transport airship, and hybrid airship design Design tools and methods for conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design, including variable fidelity, probabilistic analysis, and physics-based approaches for unconventional configuration design and analysis Propulsion systems, both conventional and unconventional, including turbine engines that can exchange shaft horsepower generation with fan mass flow, variable cycle engines,powerplants with breakthrough capabilities in thrust/weight ratio and/or specific fuel consumption, electric, fuel cell storage, and alternative fuel systems Flight control systems Advanced composite materials and fabrics for inflatable structures Simulation and aerodynamic modeling of low Reynolds number inflatable vehicles Satellite communication, navigation, surveillance systems, and ATM automation systems Situational awareness for flight crew and air traffic controllers, including navigation, terrain, weather, and traffic Passenger systems, including entertainment, seating, embarkation/disembarkation, and evacuation Certification of UAS airships for long-duration operations in mixed airspace and above Manufacturing procedures and assembly techniques Aircraft cargo handling systems, and airship vertical lift cranes Aircraft maintenance, repair, and usage monitoring Aircraft modification and certification issues governing aircraft and transport airships Airport systems, including ground handling of aircraft and passengers Automation of airship ground handling systems Meteorological prediction, including severe weather and in-flight icing Security systems for airports and aircraft, both on-ground and in-flight Simulation systems, including real-time, fast-time, human-in-the-loop, and distributed simulation for training or evaluation Test systems for component-level or system-level evaluation or validation, including novel test beds Measurement systems Environmental, legal, and policy issues in ATM and vehicle design Life-cycle modeling of air vehicles
Papers with a focus on reducing aircraft noise, emissions, and fuel consumption through novel operational concepts, alternative propulsion, and fuels approaches or advanced configurations are of particular interest.
Integration
Papers are sought that discuss challenges, opportunities, methods, or results of integrating and harmonizing air transportation: ATM of commercial, military, and general aviation, fixed wing, rotary wing, LTA craft, both inhabited and uninhabited vehicles, in shared airspace, while ensuring safety and security of civil operations and streamlining military operations Aircraft systems, including interiors, propulsion, electrical, avionics, flight control, environmental control, and landing gear Information systems for communication, navigation, surveillance, flight planning, decision support, and air traffic control, including supporting aircrews, passengers, controllers, airport users and managers, operation dispatchers, and ground support personnel Air transportation infrastructure integrating diverse aircraft operations and airports Collaborative virtual enterprises in any aspect of aviation Design, analysis, manufacturing, and operations integration at platform/vehicle level and system level System modeling and interoperability Systems of systems, including the network-centric operations or network-enabled capabilities concept of enterprise architecture Impact of operations and effects on air vehicle design
Of particular interest are papers reporting innovative analysis methods, decision support tools, or case studies that would support business and/or policy decisions for the government, private, or commercial sectors.
Operations
Papers are sought that discuss: Operational safety, including crew resource management, human factors, distributed air-ground decision-making, maintenance, and ground support Development of flight simulators for airship flight-training and ground-handling instruction Operational efficiency, including air traffic control, air traffic management, collaborative decision-making, mixed-use airspace (UASs, military, VLJs, and general aviation), and impact of small jet operations, privatization, and fractional demand Operational security Operational economy, including fleet planning, crew scheduling, mobility and support, new “hubbing” concepts, route networks, impact of fractional ownership, revenue management, forecasts, market dynamics, return-on-investment strategies, and life-cycle cost management Operational flexibility, including opportunities presented by advanced-technology personal aircraft Impact of recent FAA (Part 125/135) and EASA regulation changes on aircraft and airship operations
Papers that have a management, economics, or policy perspective, and that introduce new concepts of use or new operational processes to enhance safety, security, efficiency, or economy, are of particular interest.
