Aerospace Partnership
Aerospace demands the highest standards of professionalism
and the ever increasing competitive pressures to achieve world class performance are
bringing renewed emphasis on the need for professional development on the part of
aerospace practitioners of all disciplines. The professional institutions have a
responsibility to respond to this need in a coordinated manner and indeed play a vital
role in the development of all disciplines involved.
The Aerospace Partnership has been formed from the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), the Institution
of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It aims
to harmonise the various strengths of the constituent Institutions in devising and
implementing their programmes of activities in support of the aerospace community. This
will encompass such activities as conferences, lectures, courses, information services,
publications and public affairs. The harmonisation process will aim to avoid conflict or
duplication of events, to promote joint ventures wherever this is advantageous and to
maximise the visibility of such activities to the widest possible audience.
Below are the co-sponsored events from the IET, the IMechE and other organisations.

ICAS 2010: 27th Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences
19-24 September 2010
Nice, France
Announcement & Call for Papers
The challenges facing aeronautics have changed and are continuing to change. Today, a difficult
global economic situation combined with growing concerns over climate change is increasing
political awareness of aviation and is setting the research agenda for the next decade. It has never
been more important for the benefits of aviation to be communicated to politicians, decision
makers, leaders of industry and the general public.
In an intensely competitive world facing differential resource scarcities, international collaboration
becomes increasingly important. The ICAS Congress provides a unique forum for scientists and
engineers, researchers and designers, manufacturers and managers and university faculty and
students from all over the world to meet, to learn, to debate, to share ideas and technical
information and to build those relationships that are critically important to the advancement of our
profession and our industry.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts before 31 July 2009. www.icas.org

8th MIRA International Vehicle Aerodynamics Conference: "Low Carbon Vehicles"
13 - 14 October 2010
RBS Williams F1 Conference Centre, Grove, Oxfordshire, OX12 0DQ, UK
It’s a great time to be an aerodynamicist. The low carbon agenda has renewed the emphasis on vehicle aerodynamics, where
lightweight, low drag vehicles hold the key to lower CO2.
The trend towards lighter, sleeker vehicles creates a new set of challenges for the aerodynamic community, challenges that
are certain to be the hot topic of discussion at the conference. But, whether your focus is the optimum fuel economy, new
levels of refinement, or the fastest lap time, the 8th MIRA International Vehicle Aerodynamics Conference is firmly
established as the forum to discover the latest trends in all areas of aerodynamic development.
Registration discounts available to RAeS members!
