Seldom, if ever, has the Royal Aeronautical Society annual conference been held in times of such challenge for the profession of aeronautics, both civil and military. The challenges of a global finance crisis, an ever increasing international concern over global warning, as well as threats of terrorist attacks, to name but a few, are all issues our industry is facing.

During this year's conference, we are seeking to explore the long-term future environment for the aeronautics sector, considering all aspects. We will be looking at potential global economic and political changes which may affect both civil air transport and the defence needs of nations. Defence aeronautics will be under threat from budget constraints and from the changes in the primary defence mission whilst civil aeronautics will need to make dramatic strides in reducing pollution and operating cost. From the standpoint of technology, we will be seeking to consider the very long term view of transformational technologies and the ways in which these can be brought into regular and reliable usage.

In addition to the conference there will be exhibition stands and an evening reception, where delegates can meet vendors and each other in informal surroundings, providing unrivalled networking opportunities.
