The conference will be held this year on February 29th and on March 1st in Tel Aviv and in Technion City in Haifa
The 52nd Israel Annual Conference on Aerospace Sciences will be held this year on February 29 and March 1. As in the past, the first day of the conference will take place in Dan Panorama Tel Aviv Hotel and its second day will take place in the Technion City in Haifa. The conference program includes about 90 lectures, including invited lectures by world-renowned lecturers. The conference will discuss a wide variety of topics, from innovative manned and unmanned aircraft configurations through basic research studies on fluid mechanics, structure dynamics, missile navigation and guidance, and combustion, to spacecraft angular position control.
The conference will be opened by Prof. Dan Givoli of the Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, chair of the conference organizing committee. Later, an invited lecture in memory of Prof. M. Hanin of Blessed Memory will be given by Prof. B. Zinn of the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, on smart combustors in aircraft engines. Another lecture will be given by Prof. D. Inman of the University of Michigan, USA, on smart materials for flight applications, and later, Mr. A. Brot of Israel Aerospace Industries will give a lecture on methods of ensuring the structural integrity of aircraft over time.
Prof. C. Amon of the University of Toronto, Canada will open the second day of the conference with her lecture on analyses of multi-scale thermal transport. Another lecture will be given by Prof. I. Kroo of Stanford University, USA, on future aircraft configurations, and will be followed by Mr. Moshe Attar of Israel Aerospace Industries who will lecture on considerations for FBW flight control systems design. The morning sessions will close with a panel on civil applications for umanned aircraft, chaired by B. Davidor of the Israel Civil Aviation Authority and with the participation of representatives of the leading Israeli industries in this field. The audience will be invited to ask questions.
The conference will be attended by world-renowned lecturers. Thus, for example, Prof. J. Ginsberg of the Georgia Institute of Technology will lecture on Aeroacoustics, and Prof. P. Friedmann of the University of Michigan will lecture on Aeroelasticity.
The conference will also host the student projects competition, which includes this year four teams who will present the annual final projects that sum up their studies, highlighting innovative themes and a systemic approach in aerospace engineering.
Reporters and photographers are invited
