AIAA Overview:

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the world's leading professional society in the broad areas of aeronautics and astronautics, and the preeminent worldwide aerospace information resource.

The mission of the AIAA is to serve the profession, and to benefit the Institute's individual members and institutions. The Institute addresses the needs of scientists, engineers, and allied professionals who conceive, design, develop, test, construct, and operate air and space vehicles, their associated systems and subsystems, as well as the educators who train the professionals, researchers who continuously renew the technology, mangers who lead their efforts, and innovators who bring forth new concepts.

Specific functions of AIAA include:

  1. Sponsoring forums and technical conferences.
  2. Seeking foreign membership and joint activities.
  3. World-class technical publications.
  4. Bestowing honors and awards for exemplary accomplishments.
  5. Career development and continuing education.
  6. Educational outreach activities.
  7. Public policy to inform government and public.
We also have set up a document called "The Basic Laws of Physics" to describe Ten Ways To Be Active In AIAA.
