23-25 May 2023, Geneva, Switzerland
The 2023 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2023), Europe’s premier on-demand aircraft and advanced air mobility event is taking off at the magnificent Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Geneva International Airport from Tuesday 23 May through Thursday 25 May 2023
The EBACE is a premier event and the annual meeting place for the European business aviation community. The exhibition brings together business leaders, government officials, manufacturers, flight department personnel, avionics firms, fractional providers, charter/lease companies and all manner of people involved in nearly every aspect of business aviation.
30-31 May 2023
Images of celestial bodies collected by a camera contain much valuable information for a spacecraft, which can be used to infer the relative position and/or attitude. Imaging systems have been successfully employed in the past decades to this end, in the form of, e.g., star trackers, navigation cameras, horizon sensors. Depending on the apparent size of the targeted body within the image, different techniques are used to extract the relevant information. In this webinar, the fundamentals of optical navigation techniques will be discussed. Attendees will learn image processing techniques and attitude/position estimation algorithms. Test cases will also be discussed.

Space Meetings Veneto will be a new global business event organized by the Aerospace, Innovation, and Research Network of Veneto, bringing together professionals and researchers to discuss the latest developments in satellite applications. The event will take place at Venezia Marine Terminal from May 15th to May 17th, 2023, and will provide an interconnected platform for aerospace industry stakeholders to learn, debate and network. For its inaugural edition, Space Meetings Veneto will focus on 4 major topics:
10-12th May 2023, Turin
AIDAA is glad to announce that the International Conference on Space Exploration will be held in Politecnico di Torino from 10 to 12th May 2023. For the first time, the Air and Space Academy (AAE) decided to have its annual event outside of France, and AIDAA is proud to have been selected as the organizing partner. Furthermore, the Politecnico di Torino and the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) strongly support the conference. The conference’s purpose is to focus on central themes for Space Exploration, with keynote speakers from agencies, industry, and academia. In addition, several talks delivered by leading experts will address exploration purposes and policies, an overview of the current state of play of scientific knowledge and technical progress, and space policies.

The short course will describe the main aspects of recently developed two- and three-dimensional
computational frameworks for multi-scale and multi-physics analysis of polycrystalline and composite
materials, including the representation of degradation and failure, based on the employment of techniques
different from standard FEM.
The described models are based on the explicit representation of the considered materials mechanics at the
meso-scale, including the initiation, evolution and coalescence of micro-damage and cracking. The strategies
to capture the exchange of information between different scales, namely the component level (macroscale)
and the material level (mesoscale), will be described, as well as the techniques to include multi-physics
representations (e.g. piezoelectric, thermoelastic, chemical diffusion).
The potential benefits of employing different techniques for different material phases will be discussed and
an example about the coupling of the recent developed Virtual Element Method and the Boundary Element
Method will be presented.
The course will describe the main features of the proposed frameworks, their main advantages, current issues,
and direction of potential further development. Several applications to the computational analysis of damage
initiation and micro-cracking of common and piezoelectric polycrystalline aggregates under different loading
conditions will be discussed. Examples about modelling damage initiation and evolution in composite unit cells
will be presented.
Syllabus:
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the class the attendees will have learned how to use integral equations to model solids
mechanics problems, will have a clear understanding of strengths and weaknesses of the Boundary Element
Method, and will know how to use it in combination with other techniques, such as FEM, VEM, Cohesive Zone
Modelling, Continuum Damage Mechanics to address a wide range of materials mechanics problems.

The Section of Napoli of AIDAA is pleased to invite you to the joined celebrations for the centennials of the AIDAA Section. The event will take place on 20th April 2023 in Napoli.
16 - 19 April 2023, Bertinoro (FC)
The third edition of the Aerospace PhD-Days will be held in Bertinoro (FC), Emilia-Romagna, from the 16th to the 19th of April 2023.
During the congress, PhD students will have the possibilities to share their activities to the colleagues all over the world and, thus, to create a net of the International young researchers; moreover, it will be possible to have a complete overview of the whole research activities in Aerospace.
The Aerospace PhD-Days are open to any PhD student in Aerospace Science and Engineering or with a PhD topic in the aerospace field. PhD graduated in 2023 are welcomed too. In order to participate, an extended abstract on the PhD topic or part of it (min. 2 and max. 8 pages) must be submitted.
The main topics will be related to aeronautics, space, and aviation.
The proceedings are available here.
28 April 2023
The main reference of the webinar will be the Urban Air Mobility and Sustainable Development White Paper published last week (Jan 2023) by ASD Europe, of which I am the main author. In this study, a seminal framework towards transitioning to sustainability-driven business model(s) has been developed for addressing the sustainable development of the emerging UAM.
Learning Objectives:
The webinar will aim to meet two main goals:
Therefore, embedded in a holistic approach, the webinar will touch aspects such as i) the main spheres of impacts of UAM, ii) their wider desirability by citizens (not just users), and iii) UAM total emissions released based upon an entire life cycle analysis approach.
