Upcoming events

The 27th AIAA International Space Planes and Hypersonic Systems and Technologies Conference, jointly organized with the Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (A.I.D.A.A), will provide a forum for discussion and exchange of information for attendees from across the globe about leading edge research and development activities associated with space planes and hypersonic atmospheric flight vehicles and the technologies underpinning these capabilities. Presentations will be provided on national programs from Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia and multiple opportunities for international collaboration will be discussed. Technical paper topics include planned and ongoing space plane and hypersonic vehicle programs, advanced launch vehicle and hypersonic atmospheric flight vehicle concepts, commercial space tourism concepts, ground and flight testing techniques, results, and lessons learned, reentry vehicle systems and technologies, aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics of space planes and hypersonic vehicles, guidance and control systems, rocket, ramjet, scramjet, and other advanced propulsion systems, including component technologies (e.g., inlets, combustion systems, fuel injection concepts, ignition and flameholding concepts, nozzles), high-temperature materials, hot structures and thermal protection systems, health monitoring and management technologies, and more. Special panel sessions will be organized around relevant topics of strong global interest.

The 2025 Aerospace Europe Conference will take place in Turin, Italy, from December 1 to 4, 2025. Hosted by CEAS and AIDAA, this event marks the 10th CEAS Congress and the 28th AIDAA Congress. Held at the Lingotto Congress Center, it will coincide with the 10th Aerospace & Defense Meetings, offering a unique stage for industry and academic collaboration.
The Lingotto Centre, a dynamic venue in the heart of Turin, offers a perfect blend of modernity and historic charm. Formerly a renowned Fiat factory, this innovative space now hosts international conferences, providing state-of-the-art facilities alongside unique architectural features, such as the iconic rooftop test track.

The 28th AIDAA Conference and the 10th Aerospace Europe Conference aim to establish a dynamic forum for collaboration and knowledge exchange among renowned scientists, researchers, industry stakeholders, and policy-makers. By bridging the gap between academia, research institutions, and industry, the conference seeks to:

• Foster the exchange of ideas and cutting-edge research.
• Identify emerging trends and technologies.
• Discuss pathways to develop solutions that address critical challenges in aerospace.
• Promote synergies and partnerships to drive innovation and technological advancement.

This event offers an opportunity to inspire the aerospace community and outline a strategic vision for the sector’s future.
