🎉 Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Regional Student Conferences! 🎓 This year, over 1,200 students joined us across all six conferences, marking a historic moment with the first conference held in Canada. We saw 355 papers presented, which will be published on Aerospace Research Center (ARC) later this year. https://bit.ly/3SGssHU AIAA CEO Clay Mowry shared, “We’re excited to see our university student members gaining real-life experiences. For many students, these conferences are their first opportunity to formally present their research and receive valuable feedback from industry professionals. Their creativity and passion for aerospace were on full display. After hearing several presentations, I came away with a renewed enthusiasm for our community—the future of aerospace is bright indeed.” A huge thank you to the local aerospace industry and universities for hosting tours and sponsoring the events, and to the AIAA section volunteers whose hard work makes these conferences a huge success!

🛩️ Reflecting on the 29th AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition, we’re amazed by the talent and teamwork of 97 university teams in Tucson, Arizona! The energy was electric, and the spirit of innovation was contagious. These students poured their hearts into crafting their aircrafts, exemplifying passion, resilience, and engineering expertise. https://bit.ly/3weuQ0S This experience would not have been possible without the support of our local host, RTX, as well as The DBF Organizing Committee, our sponsors and volunteers. Thank you. Many of the participants are graduating this spring and we wish them well as they continue to shape the future of aerospace.
