Background: The RAeS President’s Conference is one of our annual flagship events and will be hosted by our President, David Chinn FRAeS. The theme for the 2024 conference is ‘Design, Build, Fly’, which aims to address the skills gap in the UK aerospace sector of people with expertise covering all three elements of designing, building and flying/launching an aircraft or rocket.

Drawing inspiration from the German Akafliegs – groups of aeronautical engineering students who team up to design, build and fly small aircraft – DBF aims to build a new collaborative community to develop these cross-cutting skills among young aerospace professionals and students in the UK, creating a platform to learn from each other and develop valuable skills to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical project development.
