The next generation of aircraft will come from teams that can explore their full trade space, and that takes geometry across thousands of variants. Spent a week at @aiaa Aviation in San Diego showing what that looks like for hypersonic design with @SpecterAero.

Rapid iteration is the key for building breakthrough airplanes and engines. My keynote this morning @aiaa has new details on how Boom is using custom design tools and digital manufacturing to accelerate engine development youtube.com/watch?v=tJe4559P…

The future is bright—and so are many kids choosing careers in flight. Flight underwent a Great Stagnation from the late 1960s. With little interesting to do, many bright students chose tech not aerospace. Now that innovation is roaring back, so is talent.

NASA intends to further study the potential of cryogenics, particularly liquified natural gas (LNG), as a future aviation fuel to aid in cutting aircraft emissions and lowering operating costs, officials announced today at #AIAAaviation aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/aa…

It was an honor to share the stage with @NASA and @Boeing at the @AIAA Aviation Forum. We’re ushering in a new era of aerospace innovation, but no matter how far technology advances, the FAA’s mission remains the same: safety. Together, we have an opportunity to shape a more connected, more capable, and more accessible future in aerospace. Innovation isn't just changing how we fly, it's defining what's possible. ✈️

If you are at the @AIAA Aviation Forum 2026 in San Diego, stop by the Tecplot booth #601 if you haven't already! Our experts, Raja Olimuthu and Gibson Adams, are there to answer any of your questions about Tecplot products. 📝 #Aviation #AIAAAviation #Aerospace #CFD

What's it like to take a plane supersonic for the first time? I asked NASA X-59 test pilot Jim "Clue" Less after Friday's milestone mission. He describes seeing the supersonic shock wave from the plane, through a small slot window: aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/na… @aiaa @NASAaero

Meet the CEO who’s taking us supersonic ✈️ @bscholl, CEO of @boomsupersonic, will be at the Student Lounge tomorrow from 9:30–10:30am for a meet & greet with #AIAAaviation attendees 👋

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, which reorganized in late April, wants to take more risk and better integrate to move faster, the chief scientist of its new air warfare directorate said at #AIAAaviation aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/af…

Catch the Tecplot team at @AIAA's Aviation Forum this week from June 9 - 11 in San Diego! 🚁 Whether you are an active Tecplot user or looking for an all-in-one CFD post-processing solution, connect with our team at booth #601. #AIAAAviation #Aerospace #CFD #FluidDynamics

⁩.@Embraer's director of tech development Maurilio Junior says #eVTOL market will be $1T by 2045 exceeding 30,000 aircraft globally. Eve electric aircraft will have 6 pax, fully autonomous for urban taxi #AVIATION2026 ⁦@aiaa⁩ ⁦@IREmbraer

Congrats to the X-59 team on breaking the sound barrier, a decade in the making! We can't wait to hear directly from the NASA team at #AIAAaviation in San Diego next week on this milestone. ✨

NASA’s X-59 demonstrator on Friday exceeded Mach 1 for the first time, marking the next step in the agency’s effort to demonstrate a quieter form of supersonic flight. aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/na…

The U.S. Air Force’s next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile, dubbed Sentinel, is now expected to begin pad launch testing in 2027, “earlier than we had anticipated,” Northop Grumman CEO Kathy Warden said Thursday. aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/fi…

Last week, @csf_space hosted the ASCEND Commercial Space Policy Summit — and over the next few days, we'll be highlighting the conversations that defined each day of the conference. Tuesday brought together the leaders and policymakers driving the future of U.S. commercial space — from FAA regulatory briefings to a closing fireside with senior White House officials: Enabling the Future of Commercial Space — Insights from FAA/AST The Road to 1,000 Launches — What it takes to get there Building the Backbone of the Space Economy — Spaceports, infrastructure & access Asserting U.S. Leadership at WRC-27 — The spectrum fight ahead The Future of Space Stations — Commercializing the cosmos Growing Federal Use of Commercial Remote Sensing Data — Earth observation at scale Space-Based Power & Orbital Data Centers — The next infrastructure frontier View from the White House — Unleashing the U.S. commercial space industry @CSF is grateful for every speaker, moderator, and attendee who made it possible. The orbital economy is being built in rooms like this. #ASCEND2025 #CommercialSpace #AIAA @aiaa

We had a great session on Powering the Frontier at @AIAA ASCEND last week in DC. Exploring and developing the Moon and beyond will take an all-of-the-above approach to energy with nuclear playing an important role. Thanks @Zeno_Power @NASAJPL @JHUAPL @DraperLab and @Rdvrobotics

The space frontier is rapidly evolving. Uncover critical insights on two transformative space technologies from @aiaa's ASCEND: Kelley Litzner, Systems Director of Commercial Programs, explores how orbital data centers enable mission-critical capabilities and the future cislunar economy: aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/in… Brian Cameron, Deputy CTO, discusses vLEO as an emerging strategic territory with Spence Wise (@Redwire), Steven Shepard (@Vaxonspace), and Dr. Gillian Bussey (@USSpaceForce): aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/in…

Congratulations to @isro and Chandrayaan 3 team on winning the prestigious 2026 Goddard Astronautics Award from The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics @aiaa. Honored to accept the award on behalf of ISRO and to highlight Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's Space Vision 2047 and the upcoming deep space exploration and human spaceflight missions, and growing commercial space ecosystem in India.

An unexpected phone call 📞 A year into leading Sandia, Labs Director Laura McGill received a surprise call naming her an @AIAA Honorary Fellow for her outstanding leadership in aerospace, defense and national security. ➡️ bit.ly/3RCFLvI

AIA’s Vice President for Space Systems, Steve Jordan Tomaszewski, recently joined the Commercial Space Policy Summit in Washington, DC, hosted by the @csf_space Federation and @aiaa as part of the @ascendspace Conference. During a panel on the space supply chain, Steve highlighted how demand for critical satellite and launch vehicle components is outpacing supply — and why government and industry must work together to strengthen the industrial base.
