• Acoustics
• Aerodynamics
• Aircraft Design
• Aircraft Systems & Avionics
• Airworthiness
• Cost Reduction

At the 35th ERF the International Committee will be looking to feature a number of special sessions, and encourage in particular the submission of papers on all aspects of ‘Green Rotorcraft’ including innovative rotors, low drag airframes, more electrical systems, alternative engines, environment friendly procedures, non-toxic materials, etc.

Abstracts should be submitted online here at the Forum website.

On www.ERF2009.org/abstract_submission/ there will be the possibility to directly upload the author’s contribution. The abstract, in English with a length between 500 and 1000 words, has to be a MS-word document (doc) or Portable Document File (pdf). The file must not exceed 750 kbyte. It is intended to print the abstracts of the selected papers for distribution during the Forum. The online mask requests additional information from the author, like keywords, new or significant aspects of their work and the assignment of the paper to one of the session subjects. After successful online submission the author will receive an automatically generated E-mail.

In case of questions, do not hesitate to contact the Forum Organisation.

The best paper will be selected as the Ian Cheeseman Award Paper for presentation at the 66th American Helicopter Society Annual Forum, 2010.
