The aim of the society is not only to emphasize and further engineering excellence in traditional rotorcraft platform disciplines, but also expand this focus to the multidisciplinary fields of vertical flight and related support industries. By supporting the needs of today's vertical flight industry and advocating the requirements for tomorrows industry, the AHS will benefit both the military and commercial sectors of the rotorcraft industry.
Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board, National Research Council (ASEB)
Provides an independent, authoritative forum for space engineering and aeronautics research within the National Research Council, the operating arm of The National Academies.
Aerospace Industries Association (AIA)
Represents the nation's leading manufacturers and suppliers of civil, military, and business aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, space systems, aircraft engines, missiles, materiel, and related components, equipment, services, and information technology.
Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)
The world's largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to advancing the unmanned systems community. AUVSI, with members from government organizations, industry and academia, is committed to fostering, developing, and promoting unmanned systems and related technologies.
Helicopter Association International
Provides its 1,590 members in more than 74 nations with services that directly benefit their operations, and advances the international helicopter industry by providing programs that enhance safety, encourage professionalism and economic viability while promoting the unique contributions vertical flight offer society.
Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society
The field of interest is the organization, design, development, integration, and operation of complex systems for space, air, ocean, or ground environments. These systems include but are not limited to navigation, avionics, mobile electric power and electronics, radar, sonar, telemetry, military, law-enforcement, automatic test, simulators, and command and control.
Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI)
OAI’s mission is to help build Ohio’s aerospace economy through research and technology development, education and training, and networking and information exchange by working closely with Ohio’s two aerospace-related federal research laboratories (Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton and NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland); Numerous aerospace-related companies with operations in Ohio, and Ohio universities with Ph.D. and research programs in aerospace-related fields.
Royal Aeronautical Society (RAES)
The world’s only professional body dedicated to the entire aerospace community. The Society has over 19,000 members in 100+ countries, an international network of 70 branches, more than 4,000 young members worldwide and over 170 businesses and organisations are members.

The one multidisciplinary professional institution dedicated to the global aerospace community. Anybody who is a professional within the aerospace industry can belong to the Society. The Society is justifiably proud of its members' range of disciplines, not just engineers and pilots, but also doctors, legal specialists, bankers, air traffic controllers, cabin crew, marketers, journalists, and so on. With headquarters in the United Kingdom, it has members in almost 100 countries worldwide.
Royal Aeronautical Society - Australian Division
Keep members informed of upcoming events in the Society, and provide information for prospective members on what the RAeS is within the Australian Division and its braches including: the Adelaide Branch, Brisbane Branch, Canberra Branch, Melbourne Branch, Perth Branch, and the Sydney Branch.
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International
SAE International has more than 90,000 members - engineers, business executives, educators, and students from more than 97 countries - who share information and exchange ideas for advancing the engineering of mobility systems. SAE is your one-stop resource for standards development, events, and technical information and expertise used in designing, building, maintaining, and operating self-propelled vehicles for use on land or sea, in air or space.
