The
International Powered Lift Conference focuses on the latest developments in
Vertical or Short Takeoff and Landing (V/STOL) aircraft research, concepts, and
programs.
Technical Program
Complementing the AIAA
AVIATION 2013 program, the International Powered Lift Conference (IPLC) brings
together engineers, technologists, and managers to discuss the latest
developments in Vertical and/or Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) aircraft
research, concepts, and programs. IPLC 2013 topics will focus on the
technologies, promise, and progress of powered lift systems, with applications
ranging from helicopters to advanced rotorcraft to runway independent aircraft
to jet-borne lift aircraft.
