When “The American Helicopter Society” was support of the 74th Annual
incorporated on June 25, 1943, the vertical Forum & Technology Display:
flight industry had not yet taken off: the US
Army had just awarded its first production ADVANCED TURBINE
contract for the first American helicopter, the ENGINE COMPANY (ATEC)
XR-4. Today, vertical flight again stands at an Technical Session
inflection point. Refreshment Break
Advanced rotorcraft are now under AIRBUS
development with significant advancements Registration Tote Bags
in speed and range, as well as fly-by-wire
and autonomy technology which ANGELUS CORPORATION
greatly assists or even replaces the pilot. Technical Session
Additionally, advanced materials and Refreshment Break
processes are allowing for significant manufacturing improvements and
electric/hybrid-electric propulsion is showing the potential for transformative APPLIED AVIONICS
configurations. Technical Session
With the advancement of vertical flight our Society has taken a hard look at Refreshment Break
ensuring our name also reflects the transformation. Our new name, The Vertical
Flight Society, will position us to support the exciting future of vertical flight. AUTOMATED DYNAMICS
Technical Session
Forum 74 is an exceptional opportunity to understand the latest advancements Refreshment Break
in all of the technical disciplines, as well as hear perspectives from leaders
in industry, academia and government. With nearly 250 technical paper BELL

Since the Society was founded 75 years ago, it has been working towards ITT
realizing “The Future of Vertical Flight,” and even more importantly, working to Technical Session
advance the vertical flight community. I hope that you take advantage of all Refreshment Break
of the technical, educational and networking opportunities that your Vertical
Flight Society has to offer. Please continue the engagement and dialogue after KAREM AIRCRAFT
this week, through the benefits and services provided by the Society. Together, Badge Holders
we can all help to advance the art of vertical flight technology!
