WELCOME ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the home page of the AIAA Sydney Section!

In February 1998, the Sydney Section, Australia, was chartered as the first AIAA Section outside of the USA.

The Section encompasses all AIAA members in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, and the Section Council is currently based in Canberra, ACT.

The Sydney Section welcomes new members - both students and professionals. To find out more about the benefits of AIAA membership, or to join online, visit http://www.aiaa.org

We want to hear from you!

Please don't hesitate to contact the Section Chair (see Contact page) if you have any ideas on how we can deliver even better value to our members in 2009-10.

Calls for nominations are made around October every year.
