The Crucible of Sustainable Aviation

A global faculty of technology experts and visionaries will convene May 6-7, 2016 in the San Francisco Bay Area to advance the world of sustainable aviation and emission-free flight.

SA Symposium Program Chairman, Dr. Brien Seeley, reports on the progress:

After my 9 years convening global leaders in this field, it is clear to me that this 2016 event is going to surpass them all. It will be held at the beautiful Hotel Sofitel San Francisco Bay, close to SFO and to Silicon Valley. The rapidly expanding prospects for clean electric propulsion and autonomous flight are attracting a wide array of leaders from across the globe in each of the key technology sectors.

The SA Symposium 2016 Preliminary Program already has these keynote presenters on tap with several more in final negotiation:

  • NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell on Green, Renewable Energy
  • Dr. Josef Kallo of DLR in Germany on Emission-free Flight with Hydrogen
  • Dr. Justin Jaworski of Lehigh University on Silent Owl Wings for Noise Reduction Technologies
  • Philip Barnes of Pelican Aero Group on High-efficiency Electric Flight.

To further enhance the SA Symposium program we are adding detailed discussion panels on Batteries, Noise Reduction, Motors and Autonomous Flight.  These panels will be moderated by Professor Yi Cui of Stanford University, Dr. Jaworski, David Calley of PlanetRider and Dr. Tyler MacCready of OceanLab, respectively.

Detailed discussion panels on Batteries, Noise Reduction, Motors and Autonomous Flight will convene their top experts during evening theme dinners.
