This year’s Light Aircraft Design Conference will be held on Monday, 14 November – and the winner of International Light Aircraft Design Competition 2021/22 will also be announced.
The Royal Aeronautical Society General Aviation Group (GAG) holds the Light Aircraft Design Conference and a Light Aircraft Design Competition each year. GAG aims to encourage individuals and UK and worldwide industry to address current concerns and opportunities by imaginative application of what is possible.
This year the conference will return to 4 Hamilton Place – RAeS HQ – in London for live talks and it will also be possible to view the conference on-line.
GAG says the General Aviation sector is well positioned to demonstrate new technologies such as radical power systems, electronic technology applied to control and navigation, optimised structures and materials and the latest aerodynamics.
The TurboTech turboprop will be part of the discussion
This year’s Design Conference ranges across:
Zara Rutherford (and now remarkably, her brother Mack also) has circumnavigated the world in the Shark aircraft, and Zara will be introducing the Shark presentation with a talk on her experiences on her world trip.
Zara Rutherford will introduce a presentation on the Shark microlight
In addition, the results for GAG’s International Light Aircraft Design Competition 2021/2 will be announced, and the winner and runner-up entries described. The competition was for an electric STOL microlight able to operate from remote airstrips in developing countries.
