The biennial SAE Wichita Aviation Technology Conference formerly known as the General Aviation Technology Conference will be held at the Century 2 Convention Center in Wichita Kansas, August 18-21, 2008. This conference will highlight Aviation technology in transition, focusing on past successes, ongoing efforts and existing or perceived future impediments to fielding new technologies from the user perspective. The focus of the conference and the theme of the senior management panel discussions is the integration of glass cockpits into all forms of civil aircraft including rotorcraft. The conference planning committee intends to provide a forum that not only addresses the most recent technical achievements, but will also provide a mechanism for the technology and user communities to work together to ease the process of bringing these technologies to fruition. In order to provide more opportunities for technology transition and networking, the planning committee has assembled a diverse group of government and industry leaders to organize the technical program.
