One month to go until Vertical Flight Society’s Forum 77 & Technology Display, still time to register your place

There’s just over a month to go until the start of the Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety’s 77th annu­al Forum & Tech­nol­o­gy Dis­play, regard­ed as the world’s biggest inter­na­tion­al event on ver­ti­cal flight tech­nol­o­gy.

From May 10th to 14th, atten­dees can learn and dis­cuss the lat­est the­o­ries and break­throughs, with more than 200 tech­ni­cal papers on every dis­ci­pline in the field — from acoustics to unmanned sys­tems. Due to trav­el restric­tions still in place because of Covid-19, the event will be held vir­tu­al­ly.

There will also be pre­sen­ta­tions and dis­cus­sions from lead­ers in the U.S. mil­i­tary, gov­ern­ment and across the indus­try. Spe­cial ses­sions will focus on the eVTOL air­craft mar­ket, with top­ics on cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, tech­nolo­gies and the progress being made in the mar­ket. All times will be in US EDT.

Addi­tion­al­ly, recog­ni­tion of this year’s VFS Award win­ners who were announced last week. This year’s Niko­rsky Lec­ture, now in its 41st year, is enti­tled ‘Rotor­craft Design: The Cru­cial Influ­ence of Safe­ty from Con­cept to Fleet Sup­port.’ The awards and lec­tures will pre­miere to the pub­lic online on May 5th.

And run­ning con­cur­rent­ly along­side Forum 77 will be the Tech­nol­o­gy Dis­play, which is the most exten­sive expo­si­tion of cut­ting-edge ver­ti­cal flight tech­nolo­gies in the world.

It also includes oth­er tech­nolo­gies more broad­ly applic­a­ble to aero­space in gen­er­al and will see man­u­fac­tur­ers, ser­vice providers, defense agen­cies, uni­ver­si­ties, and research and devel­op­ment organ­i­sa­tions will show­case the very lat­est in ver­ti­cal flight tech­nol­o­gy.

Reg­is­tra­tion rates for attend­ing Forum 77 will be $650 for non-mem­bers, $500 for VFS mem­bers who reg­is­ter by April 12th and $600 for those reg­is­ter­ing after this date. For those who are pre­sent­ing authors or pri­ma­ry ses­sion chairs and not a VFS mem­ber, it will cost $550. As a mem­ber by April 12th, it will cost $400 and $475 after.

Final­ly, rates for full-time stu­dents and those retired and aged over 60 will be $250 for non-mem­bers. It will then cost $150 if you become a mem­ber by April 12th and $200 after this date.

Reg­is­tra­tion includes access to all tech­ni­cal and spe­cial ses­sions, as well as the record­ings until May 14th, 2022. It will also include access to the vir­tu­al exhibits and Forum 77 pro­ceed­ings. No refunds can be placed after May 7th, 2021.
