2005 International Powered Lift Conference

The International Powered Lift Conference (IPLC) is the premier event for engineers, technologists and managers to discuss the latest developments in Vertical and/or Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) aircraft research, concepts, and programs. It is the only event focused on the technologies, promise and progress of powered lift systems, with applications ranging from helicopters to advanced rotorcraft to runway independent aircraft to jet-borne lift aircraft.

IPLC 2005 is cosponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the American Helicopter Society (AHS), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), and SAE Aerospace. IPLC 2005 will be administered by SAE as part of the integrated set of conferences conducted under the umbrella event of the SAE AeroTech Congress & Exhibition, scheduled for October 3-6 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

IPLC will focus on three primary thrusts: advanced rotorcraft, jet-lift, and recent progress in the underlying science and technology. The planning committee is seeking abstracts for the following topics. The committee will also consider abstracts on other topics related to the scope of this conference.
