RAeS Chief Exec Lecture
THE FUTURE OF AEROSPACE:
KNOWN KNOWNS AND KNOWN UNKNOWNS
Sir BRIAN BURRIDGE FRAeS,
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ROYAL AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY
PROGRAMME INTRO
There are clearly some future trends that will undoubtedly affect the aerospace and aviation sectors in years to come such as passenger growth, climate change and shifts in global economic power. Perhaps more a compelling aspect is the inexorable march of science and technology, now encapsulated in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The application of machine learning, artificial intelligence and quantum science could be truly transformational, but it would be easy to jump on the bandwagon of ‘Gee, yes!’ rather than, ‘Why, how much?” or, more importantly, ‘Is it safe?’
This lecture will look at the global backdrop against which these novel technologies will operate, assess the chances of success in some of the more advanced propositions and consider what it will all mean to the future human dimension in our sectors.
It will conclude with some thoughts on what the Royal Aeronautical Society should be doing in order to stay relevant in response to this massive change.

When you book, please select the relevant ticket option, and the number of tickets you would like. The booking confirmation will be automatically emailed to you, and that there is currently no option for us to admit last minute registration at the door.
The application asks for both registration and attendee details - even if there is only one person on the booking, you must fill in all fields. If you are reserving more than one ticket please ensure you enter the name of all attendees so they are reflected on the attendee list.
