October 30 - November 1, 2012 Phoenix, Arizona, USA
The tenth biennial SAE Power Systems Conference will be held in Phoenix Arizona. This conference will highlight technology in transition, focusing on past successes, ongoing efforts and existing or perceived future impediments to fielding new technologies from the user perspective for military & commercial aerospace and other military power system applications.
The 2012 conference will include a focus on Energy Optimized Aircraft (EOA), bringing Avionics, Systems, and Engines together in an optimized way. It is imperative that system interfaces are addressed early in technology development to ensure that emerging and future highly integrated platforms avoid integration conflicts that limit their performance.
The conference will provide a forum that not only addresses the most recent technical achievements, but also provides a mechanism for the technology and user communities to work together to ease the process of bringing these technologies to fruition. In order to provide more opportunities for technology transition and networking, the Planning Committee has assembled a diverse group of government and industry leaders to organize the technical program.
