From radar to the Typhoon, we have an unprecedented history in innovation fi rsts. However, we don’t rest on our laurels. In the last few years we’re proud to have launched the Type 45 destroyer and Astute submarine. And we are continually developing new technologies – like cyber security – because it’s only by moving forward that Britain will remain a global leader.

Foreword

2012 is promising to be a year to remember for all of us — and for many different reasons!

It is 64 years since our nation last hosted the Olympic Games. Post WW2, those were challenging times, particularly economically, and extraordinary efforts were made to provide the infrastructure to host the world’s greatest gathering.

2012 will again be challenging, not in a post-war sense but certainly the economic cycle that impacts our every action will continue to ensure that, while continuing to serve our membership and strive towards the achievement of the Society’s strategic goals, we do so in a climate of financial prudence.

We are delighted that No.4 Hamilton Place will host the Japanese Olympic delegation throughout the Olympic Games, a signal that the Society, with its global aspirations, can link together with one of the world’s great industrial economies during such a prestigious event.

Last year we were reflecting on the potential impact of the Strategic Defence and Security Review. How quickly times move on and today we are reflecting on the operational pressures that have faced our Service Chiefs in the past 12 months. On the civil front, the major airframe and engine manufacturers have good forward order books which can only be healthy for their supply chains and our industry.

The Society launched its new website in late August 2011 as part of phase 1 of the development and introduction of our new IT system infrastructure. There will be two further phases which we are targeting for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2012. We then believe we will be able to enhance our ‘offering’, or ‘value proposition’, to our global membership significantly.

The Society’s new Business Development function has been concentrating on marketing the Society and its many membership benefits. Focusing on the feedback obtained from our 2010 membership questionnaire we have sought to move the Society forward in a number of areas but, of course, this is an evolving situation and a further follow-up questionnaire will be circulated during 2012 to obtain feedback on our progress to date.

The networking opportunities, at all levels, remain unarguably our most significant member benefit and, recognising that only a relatively small percentage of our membership are able to take regular advantage of the wonderful facilities at No.4 Hamilton Place, the enhanced IT infrastructure will, we hope, be able to provide a virtual presence for our more remote members.

We have a very loyal and supportive company membership through our Corporate Partners scheme and our aim is to continue to grow this group both to their benefit and, of course, to the benefit of the Society as a whole.

The purpose of this Handbook, as ever, is to describe and provide a reference to the activities within the Society. Please use it for your benefit and for the benefit of others.

On behalf of us all at No.4, I would like to wish you a successful and happy 2012.

The Society proudly boasts an international network of Branches covering all the major centres of aerospace activity including Bristol, Derby, Dubai, Hamburg, Montreal, Munich, Paris, Seattle, Toulouse and Washington DC.

In broad terms, the objects and responsibility of every Branch is to supplement locally the efforts of the Society; to support and maintain the highest professional standards in all aerospace disciplines; to provide a unique source of specialist information; to provide a local forum for the exchange of ideas and to exert influence in the interests of aerospace in both the public and industrial arenas.

Each year the global Branch network hosts circa 400 lecture evenings. These Branch events are open to all with a shared interest in aviation. Non-members of the RAeS are encouraged to attend and will receive a warm welcome at all Branch lecture evenings.

Divisions have been formed in countries and regions that can sustain a number of Branches. Divisions operate with a large degree of autonomy, being responsible for their own Branch network, membership recruitment, subscription levels, conference and lecture programmes.

RAeSBranches and Divisions

Branches are a regional embodiment of the Society. They represent a vital mechanism for the delivery of membership benefits and provide a global platform for the dissemination of aerospace information.

SpecialistGroups

“Airlines to aviation law, space flight to balloon flight, avionics engineering to flight crew training.”

The range and diversity of the activities of the Aerospace Industry are second to none. From airlines to aviation law, space flight to balloon flight, aeronautical engineering to aircraft maintenance, avionics to flight crew training — all these, and those in between, are sectors within the aerospace industry, in which professionals, invariably bonded by a passion for aviation and aerospace, contribute to the UK’s leading position worldwide.

Outlined below is an insight into some of the interest areas of the industry, written by those who know — the technical experts and ‘captains of industry’ that form the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Specialist Groups.

Further information on each of the Specialist Groups can be found at www.aerosociety.com

AERODYNAMICSThe Group covers aerodynamics, aeroelastics, CFD, wind-tunnel testing and aerodynamic aspects of flight trials. The committee represents a wide range of aerodynamics specialists across universities and industry. The aims of the committee include organising at least one conference annually; organising the Lanchester Lecture; and representing the interests of the aerodynamic community to the Society and on behalf of the Society to the wider community.

Group Chairman: Dr Trevor Birch FRAeS

AEROSPACE MEDICINEAerospace Medicine Group committee members represent all aspects of UK aviation medicine and include representatives of all three Armed Services, airline medical staffs and staff from the relevant regulatory bodies, independent aviation medical practitioners and academic staff. It provides a wide-ranging information resource to the RAeS and advises the Society regarding enquiries from government and other organisations.

Its programme of lectures, visits and its annual symposium provides a major

education function and an accredited professional development programme essential for re-accreditation and recertification of aviation medicine practitioners in accordance with General Medical Council regulation.

Group Chairman: Air Cdre The Hon Richard Broadbridge FRAeS

AIR LAW The law touches many aspects of aviation and the subjects addressed by the Air Law Group cover a wide range of activities in the aviation sector. The subjects raised include product liability, airline liability, insurance, airports, regulation of aviation, legal aspects of technical matters and European liberalisation.

The Group organises, and contributes to, conferences, lectures, seminars, debates and other functions related to its subject matter. It has a mediation and arbitration scheme which is available for use by the aviation community, the details of which are to be found on www.aerosociety.com.

Group Chairman: Rob Lawson QC FRAeS

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERSThe Society’s Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Group is responsible for representing issues affecting Part 66 Licensed Aircraft Engineers (LAE) and equivalent military aircraft engineering personnel. It raises the profile of the LAE through discussion, academic standards and industry representations. Additionally it provides guidance to the Council on the best methods of attracting and retaining LAEs within the Society.

Currently the Group is working closely with the Airworthiness and Maintenance Group in the Society. The group has representatives on the UKFSC and members in working groups in EASA working on influencing licensing issues. A regular CAA representative has ensured the Group has a direct line of communication to the CAA in LGW and guidance with respect to EASA regulations.

Group Chairman: Chris Astley MRAeS

AIR POWERThe Air Power Group aims to offer a cohesive Society view on Air Power

Group Chairman: Capt Maurice Knowles FRAeS

FLIGHT SIMULATIONFlight Simulation is an exciting and integral part of aviation, supporting training, engineering development, academia, research and manufacturing,

bringing together many sciences and technologies.

The Group organises two international conferences and two named lectures annually. In addition, it leads an international group reviewing the range of flight simulation devices to harmonise technical standards under ICAO 9625 and another international group to define requirements and standards for upset recovery training

The Flight Simulation Group has created the ICAO Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of Flight Simulators and the Flight Simulator Evaluation Handbook as well as compiling a Data Requirements Document for Rotorcraft Simulation.

The Group also assists in the judging of a flight simulation competition for university students and co-sponsors the Cranfield University Course ‘Introduction to Flight Simulation’.

Group Chairman: Mark Dransfield FRAeS

FLIGHT TESTThe Flight Test Group aims to ‘promote the value and values of flight testing within the RAeS and the wider aviation community’ by providing advice to the Society on flight test matters, sponsoring lectures on recent and current programmes; promoting symposia on flight testing and being available, both as individuals and as a group, to provide advice on flight testing practices.

Group Chairman: Andrew Strachan

GENERAL AVIATIONThe General Aviation Group (GAG) aims to promote increasing professionalism among the GA community as a whole, but with a particular emphasis on aircraft design and engineering. The GAG covers the whole range of GA from business jets, through flight training to recreational flying, microlights and gliding.

The GAG organises an annual conference held in November and, in recent years this has concentrated on light aircraft design and manufacturing, with a following of regular delegates. There are usually two lectures held in

18


the Spring of a more general nature, the most recent was presented by the Team Leader of the Blades Aerobatic Team. The GAG organises competitions from time to time, more recently these have been geared to fit the academic year to encourage student project participation. A cockpit design competition has recently closed, and a microlight competition is in planning for the 2012-2013 academic year.

The GAG committee members represent the GA community and the RAeS on the relevant Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Committees. In 2006 the GAG published a landmark Discussion Paper on Experimental Category for the development of GA aircraft, and negotiations continue with the CAA on an active basis.

Group Chairman: John Edgley MRAeS

GREENER BY DESIGN ‘Air Travel — Greener by Design’ was inaugurated to bring together experts from every part of the aerospace community (manufacturers, airlines and airport operators, government departments, etc.) to seek practical environmental and economically sustainable solutions to the challenge posed by the impact of aviation on the environment. Now in its 12th year, some of the original objectives of ‘Air Travel — Greener by Design’ of increasing the awareness of the environmental issues facing aviation have been achieved. The group is now formally included in the governance structure of the Royal Aeronautical Society while continuing to provide an independent voice in communicating with, advising and informing stakeholders and public alike on the impact of the environmental challenge. An annual report is published.

The 2012 Annual Conference will be held on 16 October. The probable theme will be ‘Interdependencies‘, that is the identification, progress and choices to be made in prioritising the often conflicting demands of meeting all environmental goals. Discussions are also ongoing on the possibility of a joint forum on Biofuels for Aviation in the early summer.

Acting Group Chairman: Prof Jeff Jupp FRAeS

HISTORICALThe role of the Historical Group is to provide a focus within the RAeS for the study, discussion and interpretation of aerospace history, and to contribute on behalf of the Society to wider activities in this field.

The Group holds several lectures a year at Hamilton Place and also contributed to the Spitfire Women Seminar to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Air Transport Auxiliary. The Group is represented on a Society Committee that awards Heritage Plaques to commemorate people, places or things of significance to the history of British aviation and members also serve on the Advisory Group for the National Aerospace Library.

This year saw the launch of the online The Journal of Aeronautical History for papers that are of high quality but are unsuitable for The Aeronautical Journal because their topics are historical rather than technical. By the end of 2011 five papers and the beginnings of a correspondence section were on the Society’s website.

The Group also arranges visits to museums and other sites of historical significance, and attempts to answer questions on historical matters put to the Society.

Group Chairman: Peter Elliott MRAeS

HUMAN FACTORSHuman factors (HF) can be considered as human performance as a reflection of the context within which it takes place; factors which have the potential of causing injuries to personnel, damage to equipment or structures, loss of material, or reduction of the ability to perform a prescribed function.

The aim of the HF Group (HFG) is to promote the understanding of those factors and the management of error in all aspects of aeronautics throughout the UK & Europe. Although it is recognised that aviation is an international business, the HFG’s activities must necessarily be limited to areas where there is most benefit to be gained by its UK ‘customers’ — who include aviation professionals, security staff, designers, manufacturers, regulators, unions, industry bodies, safety organisations, government

funding agencies, academia, trainers, influencers, consultants, accident investigators, researchers, and the flying public.

Strategies include improving standards of safety by promoting better industry understanding of HF hazards and techniques for dealing with them; providing communication, education and training on HF matters; working with relevant agencies and other RAeS Specialist Groups to achieve a co-ordinated aviation HF strategy; encouraging HF research and development in aviation; arranging a programme of lectures, conferences and mini-conferences; developing position, discussion and specialist papers; and providing practical ‘front line’ advice, guidance and tools that are useable in the workplace.

Group Chairman: Barry Neal MRAeS

HUMAN POWERED AIRCRAFTThe aim of the Human Powered Aircraft Group is to encourage and foster an interest in the continual quest of humans to fly under their own power.

The Group administers the Kremer International Marathon and Sporting Aircraft Competitions as a means of encouraging research and experiment in this field. In addition there is a new competition for schools or youth groups to build and fly a human powered aircraft as well as the inaugural Icarus Cup proposed for 2012.

Group Chairman: Dr Bill Brooks FRAeS

MANAGEMENT STUDIESThe aim of the Group is to increase awareness, appreciation and understanding of management issues in aerospace and to provide a forum for industry, academia, the Ministry of Defence and civil aerospace organisations to discuss management techniques and advances.

We are currently seeking new committee members to address these important issues so please contact the Conference & Events team if you feel you could offer your knowledge and expertise.

PROPULSIONThe Combined Propulsion Technical Activity Committee (CPTAC) is a collaboration in the area of aerospace propulsion between the relevant RAeS Specialist Group and the IMechE Technical Advisory Committee. It benefits from the expertise of both parent Societies’ members.

The aim of CPTAC is to promote interest in aerospace propulsion to the widest possible community. Members of CPTAC reflect this broad aim, coming from industry, academia (staff and students), operators, government departments and regulatory bodies. CPTAC provides technical advice to both Societies on propulsion-related topics, covering powered aircraft, space vehicles, missiles and auxiliary power units.

Group Chairman: Peter Curtis MRAeS

ROTORCRAFTThe Rotorcraft Group serves as the focus for all matters related to helicopters and other rotary wing aircraft. It is a multi-disciplinary group with broad interests including research and development of new technology, manufacture, operations (both military and civil) and regulation. The group places particular emphasis on the safe operation and environmental impact of rotorcraft, on promoting the expansion of the role of civil and public service rotorcraft to the benefit of the community and on support to schools with the aim of encouraging pupils to select aeronautical engineering as their career of first choice. The Group organises one major conference each year which, in 2012, will be held in conjunction with the Flight Simulation Group on Rotary Wing Mission Training and Rehearsal. Annual named lectures to commemorate the contributions made by Juan de la Cierva and Alan Bristow to the art, science and operation of rotorcraft are sponsored by the Group.

Group Chairman: Jeremy Graham MRAeS

SPACESpace is an increasingly important domain of commercial, military and scientific endeavour in the 21st century. The Space Group aims to ensure that the Society and its members are able to lead and provide

foresight within the space community. Lectures, conferences and discussion papers are provided regularly on topics critical to the sector. In recent years this has included lectures by world authorities on launch vehicles, discussion papers on Britain’s space exploration policy, and conferences on Space Tourism. In 2012, the highlight will be the third triennial European conference on space tourism responding to the imminent start-up of this new form of business that straddles the aviation and space sectors.

Group Chairman: Pat Norris FRAeS

STRUCTURES & MATERIALSThe aim of the Structures and Materials Group is to assist the Society and its members to understand the complex subjects of material use and structural design and analysis (including statics, dynamics and aeroelastics). It also covers the areas of manufacturing and testing in as much as this effects material and design requirements. The scope extends to cover advanced CAD, CAM and CAE tools and includes Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation methodology and application. New materials development is considered in relation to its influence on structural efficiency and integrity, aeroelastic performance and production processes. The Group also supplies the UK representative on the CEAS Structures and Materials Technical Committee. The Group organises a number of national and international conferences which cover the various topics in its remit.

Group Chairman: Dr Malcolm Nash FRAeS

UNMANNED AIR SYSTEMSA UAS is an unmanned aircraft system; an aircraft with no onboard pilot. UAS can be manually controlled aircraft (e.g. directly flown by a pilot through a ground control station), operated through pre-programmed flight plans or by more complex dynamic automation systems involving on board sensors and/or processed data. UAS are currently used extensively by the military in the surveillance and ground attack roles and are now finding greater use in civil operations including aerial photography, surveying and inspection, as well as in support

of emergency services and disaster management teams.

The UAS Group runs a two-day conference every year and has initiated the Langley Lecture, a Named Lecture started in 2006 to commemorate Samuel Pierpont Langley.

Group Chairman: André Clot MRAeS

WEAPON SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGYThe Weapon Systems and Technology Group’s main aim is to promote the understanding of and interest in WS+T by means of public and classified lectures, symposia, conferences, workshops and classified debates.

In furthering this aim, the group recognises the many technical disciplines contributing to the field of WS+T, including aerodynamics, guidance, navigation, control, sensing, armament, propulsion, information technology, systems engineering, systems integration, operational analysis and concept studies.

Group Chairman: Bernard Chan ARAeS

WOMEN IN AVIATION AND AEROSPACE COMMITTEEThe Society’s newest committee, Women in Aviation and Aerospace, was officially launched at the third Women in Aviation and Aerospace Conference in October 2009. The group has been set up with the main remit to encourage more women into the industry and is the first in the UK to represent women working in all sectors of the industry.

The women’s group is working hard to contact women working in aviation and aerospace to win their support for its key task: to encourage young women to consider aviation and aerospace as a challenging and worthwhile career. The group also plans to help women to further their careers in the industry by offering networking and mentoring support.

Other aims include establishing a database of inspiring role models to highlight the work that women do in the industry and continuing to organise an Annual Women in Aviation and Aerospace Conference.

Remembering the Royal Aeronautical Society in your Will is one of the most important ways of making a gift to the Society. It allows us to plan for the future and invest in projects that will make a major contribution to Society’s activities in years to come.

A legacy through the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation, which supports the Society’s general and charitable activities, is the most significant way in which you could help to further the Society’s aims. It would allow the Society to choose the most effective and beneficial way, at any time in the future, to make use of your gift. However, a Will is an incredibly personal document and we are aware that some Members have very specific ideas of what they would like their bequests to support which the Society is very happy to discuss in confidence. The Society advises anyone wishing to make a will, or amending an existing one, to see a solicitor.

If you have already made a Will but have decided to leave a bequest to the Foundation you can do so by means of a codicil, but please note that a codicil should not be stapled to your Will, as this would invalidate it.

Support the Society

Legacies Living Legacies

Members could opt for a living legacy whereby they agree to bequeath a certain amount to the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation but make an annual contribution with the proviso that the residual amount will be due from their estate on death less any donations already made. For example, you might decide to make an annual contribution of £1,000 to the Foundation over a period of ten years. You would then make provision in your Will to bequeath £10,000 to the Foundation, less the sum of the annual payments.

As a charity, bequests to the Society are exempt from Inheritance Tax, thus offsetting the burden on the rest of your estate.

If you have remembered the Society in your Will, or would like further information on legacies, please contact the Finance department at the Society.

The Society runs an annual event for secondary schools at its prestigious headquarters to introduce aerospace career opportunities in the context of current issues facing the sector and their impact on the industry. As well as hearing directly from aerospace professionals on their experiences, attendees are also offered the chance to have their say.

Following aviation’s interactions with the forces of nature in 2010, from volcanic ash to severe snowfall, the 2011 event

Careers Centre and Education Activities

The Royal Aeronautical Society’s Careers Centre was established in 1997 and has worked around three key objectives:

> Support people seeking employment in the aerospace and aviation community

> Provide impartial information on the various career paths and entry routes offered by the sector

> Promote aerospace and aviation to a new generation

To achieve these objectives, the Careers and Education team has undertaken a range of activities including production of specialist careers leaflets and magazines, 1-2-1 careers guidance appointments, events, competitions and initiatives for all ages to promote the sector and, in 2010, the launch of a dedicated website in partnership with ADS, www.careersinaerospace.com

In addition, the team provides support to the new Young Persons Board formed from the merger of the former Young Members Board and Launchpad for Learning committee, helping the department to plan strategically future activities.

Ballantyne Event 2011

theme was Aerospace vs The Elements and dealt with how pilots and engineers deal with such occurrences.

Introduced by Past President David Couzens, the first speaker for the day Peter Nye, a GAPAN pilot, spoke about obstacles faced by pilots everyday; earth, air, water and fire and, in particular, how to land an aircraft in a cross-wind. Then Alan Eccleston, Chief Airworthiness Engineer, Rolls-Royce, spoke specifically about the effects of volcanic ash on aircraft, including a video of tests being run on Rolls-Royce engines with testers firing projectiles and water into engines.

Next, Miguel Santos, Director of International Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, discussed what it is like to work for Boeing. Many students had questions on the costs of some of the larger aircraft and the materials used in their construction.

Lunch was served in the Argyll Room and many students took this free time to try their hand at GAPAN’s free pilot aptitude test. Each student’s scores were recorded and the one with the highest score was announced at the end of the day.

In the afternoon, all participants were split up into smaller groups to work on their own presentations about Aerospace vs The Elements. Students had an hour to collect research from posters provided by the Society on topics dealing with the theme. Each group gave a five-minute presentation on topics such as humanitarian aid, natural disasters, passenger comfort and Earth observation. The 24 presentations included mock news broadcasts, skits about the weather and a puppet show, and were judged by the President and Alain Eccleston looking at group participation, creativity and factual evidence. The top three winning groups received goodie bags and the overall winners received a Boeing model airliner.

The event also included an update and video on the Schools Build-a-Plane Challenge from one of the participating schools, Ercall Wood Technology College, and news on the steps for the next two successful schools.

The 2012 event will take place in the spring and will be the most interactive Ballantyne yet — focusing on aerospace and sport, showing how aerospace engineering is helping to improve sporting performance and will feature a brand new set of challenges for the students to take part in.

Cool Aeronautics is our primary school programme based around a day of aerospace-themed talks and interactive workshops with Year 5 (Key Stage 2) pupils at an aviation place of interest. This year, in addition to our ‘mini’ Cool Aeronautics event during the Manchester Science Festival at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), Cool Aeronautics came ‘home’ to Hamilton Place to kick off a bigger programme across the UK in 2012.

Children from Frith Manor and Rokesly Junior schools (aged between eight and ten) saw exciting talks from Senior First Officer Rob Crocker, Liverpool Aerospace Engineering postgrad Emma Timson and speakers from Astrium in the morning. When the floor was opened for questions the speakers were astounded by the level of questions being asked by a lecture theatre of eight-year olds.

In the afternoon the speakers doubled as workshop helpers: Emma Timson helped the children to understand balance in an aircraft as well as thrust with the use of some straws, balloons and a piece of string to fly them on.

Astrium went through a day in the life of a school child to help them understand just how many times we use satellites while Marion Neal from Merlin Flight Simulation Group asked the children to draw a new type of spaceship, taking into consideration important factors like thrust, weight, lift and drag. The Merlin Flight Simulation Group competition also doubled as a competition to win a flight in a Merlin Simulator at Brunel University.

RAeS Chief Executive Simon Luxmoore wrapped up the day with a thank you to all who attended, as well as announcing the winners of the Merlin Flight Simulator prize. The children left the building with a goodie bag in hand having spent the whole day learning about aerospace.

Thanks to all those who helped out on the day and for Merlin Flight Simulation for sponsoring the event.

If you would like to run a Cool Aeronautics event in your area, or are a teacher or parent who would like to see your school learn more about the exciting world of aerospace and encourage STEM learning, please contact the RAeS Careers and Education Department.

The Society’s sixth annual careers and recruitment fair — the only UK event dedicated to aerospace and aviation recruitment — took place on 18 November, again attracting over 450 visitors from across the UK and Europe, including university students, graduates, apprenticeship seekers and experienced professionals making a career move. Once again, exhibitors commented on the overall high calibre of visitors and well-preparedness of candidates and their understanding of aerospace.

In addition to the exhibition, a full programme of company seminars and specialist talks provided visitors with more in-depth careers information covering:

> Becoming a pilot> Networking> Careers at Astrium > CV workshops> Flight Simulation> Careers at Messier-Bugatti-Dowty > Redundancy tips > Networking advice

Speedy CV checks — run for the first time throughout the day — proved to be extremely popular and GAPAN offered free pilot aptitude tests throughout the day and impartial advice.

The first lead school of the Schools Build-a-Plane Challenge was announced in March 2009, since then five additional schools have been chosen from around the UK and we now have six aircraft in various stages of production; from unpacking the kit to preparing for testing. 2012 looks to be an exciting year.

The scheme offers 14-18 year-olds a fun, educationally-relevant engineering and business project demonstrating the practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects and relevance to the real world with the aim of promoting greater take-up of physics and other technical subjects. Participating schools are encouraged to involve other students in aspects of the project, such as IT, PR, marketing and fundraising and run accompanying aviation projects in other subjects such as History, Geography, Food Science, Art & Design.

Thanks to the generous support of Boeing, the Society has provided light aircraft kits to the six schools involved so far. The Light Aircraft Association (LAA) is also a key partner, helping mentor the schools through the build, as well as monitor and inspect the builds to ensure the aircraft meet their Permit to Fly requirements when complete.

BUILD 1: YATELEY SCHOOL PROJECTYateley School, Hampshire was the first school selected to lead on a build in their area, becoming very much a pathfinder for the scheme, identifying how a project of this scale would succeed in a school context, how long it would really take and what is actually involved in turning a kit of parts into a real working aircraft.

Yateley School has worked hard and, with the help of project partners including Court Moor School in Fleet, Hampshire, completed its aircraft build in 2011 registering it: G-YTLY. The aircraft was exhibited at the British Military Tournament at Earls Court in December. Ground testing is planned for the new year with the first flight taking place shortly after, allowing plenty of time for the aircraft to be prepared for its ‘Fly in’ to Farnborough Airshow’s Futures Day 2012.

BUILD 2: MARLING SCHOOL PROJECTThe second build was led by Marling School in Stroud, which received its kit in Autumn 2009. Great progress has since been made in partnership with Stroud High and Thomas Keble. As of December 2011, the aircraft was almost complete with only a few minor tasks to finish, leading to testing and its first flight in 2012. The Marling aircraft was exhibited at RIAT and

Schools Build-a-PlaneChallenge

the British Military Tournament. Students, staff and volunteers from the build and partnering schools manned the stands at both shows and helped over 2,000 children experience aircraft controls ‘hands on’ and interacted with 4,000 visitors who took an interest in the scheme.

BUILD 3: BRIDGE LEARNING CAMPUSBridge Learning Campus in Bristol began its build in 2011 and, despite encountering a few challenges along the way, the enthusiasm and commitment of the staff, students and volunteers has remained steadfast and there is now some real momentum behind the project which looks to grow through 2012 with a greater number of build and wider educational activities taking place.

BUILD 4: ERCALL WOOD TECHNOLOGY COLLEGEErcall Wood Technology College in Telford began building at the start of 2011 and has made great progress on its aircraft and its wider educational initiatives. Furthermore, Ercall Wood has done a fantastic job of promoting its build and getting volunteers involved. Most recently Ercall Wood staff, students and volunteers manned stands at ‘The Flying Show’ in the NEC and at the Light Aircraft Design Conference at the RAeS HQ in London.

BUILD 5 & 6: ERNESFORD GRANGE & NEWABoth Ernesford Grange in Coventry and the North East Wolverhampton Academy were selected to be part of the process and are due to receive their kits early in 2012. Both schools have already embarked on an ambitious programme of wider educational activities and partnerships with local business, educational establishment and the community.

IT FLIES GOES TRANSATLANTICThis year for the first time the event went TRANSLANTIC! Two teams from the University of Dayton, Ohio, were able to come over to Coventry and compete.

This followed the first IT FLIES USA back in April, when teams from Swansea and Coventry universities took the opportunity to fly to Dayton, stay on the UD campus, compete in IT FLIES — with their designs assessed by USAF test pilots — and also visit the awesome Air Force Museum.

Dave Southwood from The Empire Test Pilots School and Dave Mackay, Chief Test Pilot for Virgin Galactic, judged the entries, while John Farley, ex Harrier Chief Test Pilot, provided the commentary throughout the day. With nine entries this year and a large variety of aircraft types from a motorised glider through to a C-130H Hercules, the judges were kept busy throughout the day!

Unusually there were two V/STOL aircraft designs entered, Anthony Crowley from Brunel University with a Sea Harrier and Ewan Douglas from Coventry with an F-35B.

The competition resulted in a tie for first place between Brian Cranston and John Puttman from The University of Dayton with their two-seat electric aircraft and Swansea University’s team with its very light jet.

The Dayton students thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the UK and were able to go to RAF Cosford’s Airshow and visit the Royal Aeronautical Society while staying on campus at Swansea.

2012 dates are 31 March for the USA IT FLIES at Dayton, and 12 June for the UK version to be held in the brand new aerospace laboratory at Coventry University.

The Fellowship is now in its fourth academic year and considerable, measurable progress has been made over the three years of its existence. One of the most important of these has been the almost unanimous agreement that the Fellowship should be extended through to a full ten-year project. This has been supported by industry, the Royal Air Force and by the University of Birmingham which has agreed to shoulder an increasing proportion of the financial burden.

The Fellowship has a number of facets ranging from the provision of independent, expert advice to the media through to building a critical mass of academically trained air power thinkers. This latter role has been accelerated by the Fellow gaining his own PhD in the summer of 2010, some two years early. He now has three full time and three part-time doctoral students; in addition to this the Fellow has four MPhil students. The topics being researched range from a deep cultural study of the Royal Air Force, through the use of air power in counter-insurgency to an in depth study of the evolution of the concept of control of the air. The Fellow has designed and introduced a part-time (over two years), taught MA in Air Power, History, Theory and Practice; the first year has proved extremely popular and the next cohort starts in October 2011. The more able students from this programme are already exploring taking their studies further with research degrees.

Another key facet of the Fellowship is spreading the air power message to a variety of audiences. He has submitted a number of influential contributions on contemporary issues such as current operations and the impact of the Strategic Defence and Security Review to the House of Commons Defence Committee (through the Society) and on TV and radio. The Fellow has been invited to give annual lectures and keynote addresses to a wide variety of audiences including the Society’s Annual Conference, the Chief of the RAAF’s Conference in Melbourne in 2011 and to a range of academic audiences.

The Fellow has just finished his first monograph which looks at the strategic leadership, direction and legitimacy of the Strategic Air Offensive against Germany and this will be published in 2012. He has also produced a range of articles for peer-reviewed journals as well as for the Society’s own publications. With his PhD behind him, the Fellow is now engaging in several research projects including collaborative work with King’s College London and the USAF Air University at Maxwell. A further project is underway with the German Research Institute in Paris into the culture of military organisations in the nuclear era. The next few years will undoubtedly be busy and exciting but it is extremely satisfying to see so much of the promise maturing in such a way.

The RAeS also welcomes Corporate Partner participation in events through nomination of keynote speakers or session chairs within the conference and lecture programme.

Exclusive to Corporate Partner staff, the Society runs a programme of senior level evening briefings and an annual Corporate Partner Seminar aimed to examine the prospects of the aerospace community in the year ahead. The Society also welcomes attendance by Corporate Partners at its Society events, in particular the Annual Banquet and the Royal Aeronautical Society Golf Day.

Corporate Partner Briefings provide a forum for frank and open discussion on issues that are topical and relevant to the aerospace industry. The Society has an excellent track record of securing high profile speakers to deliver the briefings, including Heads of Industry, Government Ministers and influential figures from both academia and the public sector.

Attendance at briefings is a key benefit of corporate membership and these events are well attended at the highest levels of the aerospace community.
