talks

Thank you for everyone that joined us for the talk given by Evan Young, Head of Engineering at Qarbon Aerospace, on the “Design and Manufacturing applications for continuous fiber thermoplastics in vertical lift aircraft”.

We had a great time learning about themorplastics manufacturing and applications, and hearing more about how Qarbon and thermoplastics can help the future of UAMs.

Thank you for everyone that joined us today for Abe’s talk “Teaming Up: Effective Group and Meeting Management”. We had a great time, and learned a lot on the steps to effective teamwork, conflict resolution, and meeting management.

This was one of nine sessions from the NSF-funded CyberAmbassador program. If you want to learn more about their work, how to become a CyberAmbassador yourself, visit their website!

On November 2nd, 2022, we had the pleasure of hosting Nicholas Rehm for a presentation on UAS Flight Controllers. Nick designed his own (open source) flight controller, dRhemFlight. He uses it in his drones that he tests in his videos, showing us how much is possible in the world of vertical flight, even from our own backyard.

Thank you to everyone that came to the meeting! We had an amazing turnout and we are excited to see you in our next talks!

On September 29th we hosted Mr. Brian Tucker from Bell as Vertical Flight Society Atlanta Student Chapter. Mr. Tucker gave a presentation titled “Engineering Communication- A Case Study in Clearly Explaining Problems and Solutions to Improve Technical Outcomes” and answered our questions.

Many thanks to everyone who joined virtually, came in person, and contributed to the event.

Today we hosted Dr. Ilkay Yavrucuk from the Technical University of Munich as Vertical Flight Society Atlanta Student Chapter. Dr. Yavrucuk gave a presentation titled “Building Flight Models for Level D Full Flight Simulators: The Independent Way” and answered our questions.

We raffled off official VFS merchandise, courtesy of Vertical Flight Society. Many thanks to SAESAC (School of Aerospace Engineering Student Advisory Council) for sponsoring the event and to everyone who joined virtually, came in person, and contributed to the event.
