Sixty Years of Innovation & Upcoming Challenges in Aerodynamics

The field of aerodynamics has seen remarkable transformations over the past six decades, from the early supersonic jet age through engine airframe efficiency improvements, and into the modern era of sustainable aviation and space exploration.

The 60th International 3AF Conference on Applied Aerodynamics aims to celebrate historical perspectives and technological evolution, such as aerodynamic advancements over sixty years, the shift to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), progress in wind tunnel technology, and milestones in subsonic to hypersonic aerodynamics. It also seeks to review current technologies, tools and concepts including advanced simulations and computational fluid dynamics, AI and machine learning in design, multidisciplinary optimization, and new experimental techniques. Additionally, the conference will explore future directions like sustainable and green aviation, urban air mobility and eVTOL, hypersonic and space technologies, and bio inspired and morphing aircraft.

This 60th Edition organised by the 3AF Technical Committee “Aerodynamics" will be hosted by DynFluid the Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of Arts & Métiers Institute of Technology, Paris.
