About Submitting Your Abstract for 2025

The mission of this conference is to identify the challenges within the aerospace community and the collaborative work being done in improving the safety, airworthiness, availability and cost effectiveness of both our military and commercial aircraft fleets. The battle of maintaining an aging fleet with numerous resource and engineering challenges is a primary focus.

    Presentation Requirements for Accepted Abstracts

    What Happens if My Abstract is Accepted?

    PLEASE NOTE: All Accepted Authors/Abstracts for AA&S 2025 will be expected to give their presentation in-person at the AA&S 2025 Conference.

    Each primary submitter for abstracts will be notified by email, no later than April 14, 2025, of the decision of the AA&S Review Committee. Abstract submitters who receive an acceptance letter email will also be provided with speaker log-in information/instructions.

Presentations with substantial speaker notes or a technical paper (author’s choice), will be required of each presenter for inclusion in the Proceedings, to be posted on the Conference website after the Conference.


    Presentation Guidelines

  • PowerPoint presentations are preferred, but PDF can be used as well, if needed.
  • It is recommended that Presentations use a 16:9 ratio.
  • Fonts should be size 16 or higher (unless the text is a footnote or disclaimer). One tip to test if the font of your presentation is big enough is to print a random page of your presentation, place it on the floor, and see if you can read it when you stand up.
  • Send your presentation ahead of time so it can be previewed for any technical issues. Also take advantage of speaker review times to review your presentation on the equipment you will be using for presentation and in the room where you will present. This should ensure that no problems will occur on the day of your presentation.
  • Always bring a backup copy of your presentation with you just in case your main copy is lost or damaged.
