AIAA/ CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference
26-29 May 2026, Brussels, Belgium

Technical Program

The technical program will feature theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies presenting original research or innovative approaches, with a particular focus on the rapidly evolving landscape of air transportation, considering their impact on structures and communities. This includes significant activity in Urban Air Mobility and Unmanned Air Systems, where the development of quieter, more sustainable aerial vehicles is driving intense aeroacoustic research. Contributions related to low-carbon aircraft technologies and novel flight concepts are especially encouraged. Comprehensive reviews and topical surveys will also be considered.

While the conference topics are outlined below, submissions on related subjects — including cross-sector applications of noise reduction technologies and non-aerospace research with potential aerospace impact — are welcomed.

Papers of outstanding technical merit, originality, and clarity will be eligible for the 2026 AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Best Paper Award. Students are invited to participate in the Aeroacoustics Student Paper Competition.
