There are two weeks to go until our RAeS General Aviation Design Conference 2021 which takes place virtually on 15 November from 10.00 to 17.00 GMT.

Will Climate Change pressures bring about a ‘Crunch Point’ for hydrocarbon powered leisure? How might General Aviation and private flying be affected? Will new technology unleash exciting UK creativity and industry to meet this challenge? What step change possibilities can be brought to bear?

The General Aviation sector is well positioned to demonstrate new technologies: radical power-systems, electronic technology applied to control and navigation, optimised structures and materials, the latest aerodynamics – these and more can contribute to remaining airborne.

The Royal Aeronautical Society General Aviation Group (GAG) holds a Light Aircraft Design Conference and a Light Aircraft Design Competition each year. The GAG aims to encourage individuals and UK – and Worldwide - industry to address current concerns and opportunities by imaginative application of what is possible. 

Join us for the only national conference on emerging light aircraft design technology.

Our speakers are leading experts in this field and the conference will provide a unique insight into the technologies involved – find out more about two of our speakers below.
