Aerofex has been selected to present its latest research, focused on thrust vector control for propeller-driven aircraft, at the 2025 AIAA AVIATION Forum, July 21-25, Las Vegas.
Chief Technology Officer Mark De Roche will present his technical paper, titled “Thrust Vector Control of Propeller Driven Craft,” to be featured in the session “VSTOL-02, Developments in Modern V/STOL Technology.” This research examines methods for enhancing stability and maneuverability in VTOL aircraft by precisely directing thrust without generating adverse aerodynamic moments.
Aerofex has pioneered thrust vectoring technologies that improve the operational capabilities of VTOL platforms. By dynamically pivoting propeller thrust through the center of lift, the company’s approach eliminates unwanted off-axis loads, enabling scalable applications across multiple aircraft types.
This technology enhances control for both piloted and unmanned aerial systems (UAS), offering significant advantages in performance and operational flexibility.
The AIAA AVIATION Forum, hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), is one of the premier events for aerospace professionals. The conference will feature technical sessions, industry exhibitions, and networking opportunities, bringing together experts from across aviation, space, and defense sectors.
Aerofex’s presentation is scheduled for July 23, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:20 PM Pacific Daylight Time, with a dedicated discussion period following the main session.
Aerofex continues to push the boundaries of VTOL technology, and its participation in the 2025 AIAA AVIATION Forum highlights the company’s ongoing contributions to aerospace innovation.
