This conference aims to bring together researchers, engineers and industry experts to explore the latest advancements in aerodynamics and sustainable aviation technologies. By fostering collaboration across academia and industry, the conference seeks to accelerate the transition toward a more efficient, environmentally responsible future for air transport.

The scope includes, but is not limited to, innovative aerodynamic concepts, drag reduction techniques, flow control strategies, high-efficiency airframe designs, new materials and mechanisms to enhance aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Contributions that address multidisciplinary approaches, computational modelling and experimental methods in fluid dynamics, advanced fuels combustion, aeroelasticity and smart structures are also encouraged.

Contributions will be published as book of extended abstracts with ISBN. Furthermore, there is also a possibility to publish enlarged contribution as an article in special issue of the Acta Polytechnica journal indexed in web of science!
