VFS Technical Meeting on Vertical Lift Structures and Survivability
Sponsored by the VFS Hampton Roads Chapter
October 21-22, 2025
Virtual Meeting
The theme of the two-day conference is "Adapting to Emerging Threats: Rotorcraft Structures, Crashworthiness, and Survivability in a Dynamic Operational Environment". The meeting will present technologies and programs relating to vertical flight structures, vulnerability reduction, and crash safety enabling increased capability for vertical flight systems. This meeting combines interest in manned and unmanned vertical flight aircraft structures and vulnerability reduction related to research and development. Recent interest in crashworthiness and advanced structures and manufacturing from the eVTOL community has increased and is expected to contribute to this meeting.
