CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
TThe Pacific Northwest Members of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots will convene our 14th Annual Symposium on Friday, 25 April at AeroTEC Headquarters at 5601 6TH AVE S #410, SEATTLE, WA. Aviation interests of this region are very diverse, from Large Transport Aircraft Certification testing to clean sheet new technology prototype aircraft first flights. Engineering fields include but are not limited to unmanned autonomous systems, rockets, navigational systems, sensors, avionics, displays, flight controls, and propulsion systems.
The purpose of this Symposium is to share the knowledge gained in the course of planning, execution and documentation of flight test activities. The intent of the Symposium is to help prevent re-learning of hard lessons through cross pollination of the ideas and discoveries from our seemingly different, yet similar and related areas of flight test. Following the same formula of our successful previous Symposia, we continue to solicit presentations and attendance from both members and non-members.
This is an official Call for Abstracts
Each technical presentation selected is given a 30-minute slot (25 minutes for the technical presentation and 5 minutes for questions from the audience). No proceedings are published for this Symposium, therefore formal written papers are not required.
Each technical presentation will be evaluated by a panel of judges. The winner of the best presentation will be memorialized on the Northwest Section plaque.
All selected presenters will be invited to attend a "Speaker's Dinner" to be held on 24 April, arranged by the Symposium Chairman. More information will be provided upon selection.
Those interested in presenting should submit an abstract by 25 March 2025 to:
Jason Rew (AF), The Boeing Company - Symposium Chair
