Aviation has always been considered one of the most high-tech industries in the world. The number of tasks entrusted to it is growing every year, which requires finding new solutions and adapting to the variability of life. The flexibility of aviation has always been facilitated by scientific activity, which is the foundation of its development. It would be desirable to note that aviation specialists contribute greatly to this. Research activity certainly broadens the outlook and provides an opportunity to express and develop ideas that may change the face of modern aviation in the future.
Conferences, in turn, provide an opportunity to exchange experience, create a space for self-fulfillment and participation in solving current problems. Emphasis on scientific activities has always been a distinctive feature of the Belarusian State Academy of Aviation. On the 25th of November 2021 the 6th International Scientific and Practical Conference "Aviation: History, Modernity, Development Prospects" was held within the walls of our Academy for exchange of scientific ideas. It is worth mentioning that not only cadets and professors and lecturers of the academy of aviation, but also scientists, aviation specialists from the Republic of Belarus and from near abroad countries showed interest in the conference.
The work of the scientific-practical conference began with the plenary session. The welcome speech was made by the Vice-rector for scientific work Anna Zhukova. She noted that the main goal of the conference was to consolidate ideas for sustainable development of the aviation industry of Belarus and the world. Most of the reports at the plenary session were devoted to the ideas in the field of strengthening defense and security of our country.
After the plenary session was over, work began in sections. This year the conference worked in the following areas:
- Avionics, propulsion systems and aircraft structures;
- Unmanned aircraft systems;
- Ensuring the safety of aircraft flight;
- Application of natural science methods in aviation;
- Modern problems of management and economics in air transport;
- Radiolocation, radio navigation and communication;
- Language training of aviation specialists and problems of professional communication.
The quality of reports were noted by section moderators. Participants of the conference, who presented the best papers, were awarded diplomas. A collection of conference materials will be subsequently published.
