AeroTech Congress & Exhibition
November 10 - 13, 2009
Washington State Convention Center
Seattle, Washington, USA

The SAE AeroTech Congress & Exhibition provides a forum for the aerospace community to meet and discuss current and future challenges, opportunities, and requirements of next-generation R&D, products, and systems and to develop professional relationships among the members of the world aerospace community. Technical sessions, panel discussions, and keynote presentations are integrated in a program that provides value to industry and government engineers, scientists, designers, program managers, operators, educators, and students. Abstracts are invited on a broad spectrum of topics applicable to Commercial/Military/General Aviation and UAVs. These topics include, but are not limited to, the following.

Authors who wish to contribute a paper please submit an abstract online of approximately 500 words for consideration, including the paper title, the author(s) name(s), mailing address, telephone number, fax number and email address.
