Advanced Aircraft Design Roadshow
November 19, 2025 - Washington D.C.
Join engineering leaders to discover how teams are breaking free from fragile design and analysis processes. Learn from industry experts with decades of DARPA and defense experience, identify the bottlenecks affecting development timelines, and get hands-on with to experience rapid iteration at scale.
Who should attend?
