Since its inception in 1939, the purpose of the SAWE has been to promote the exchange of technical information and new ideas in Mass Properties Engineering. The SAWE International Conference is the annual meeting that brings together mass properties professionals from throughout the world. These dedicated men and women work in close cooperation with and address the needs of industry, government, and other engineering and manufacturing organizations. The 2014 Technical Tracks are a result of input from these mass properties professionals with the combined efforts of the International Officers, the 2014 Conference Committee, and the Technical Committee.
For us, the mass properties professionals, but also for all engineering community, the SAWE Annual event is an excellent opportunity to learn and share the latest developments on the discipline, not only attending the technical sessions and papers presentations but also meeting colleagues from all around the world.
The technical content of the 2013 Conference will include weight aspects of new materials, new weight design procedures, methods for calculating mass properities, weight estimation in preliminary design, novel aircraft configurations weight estimations, etc.
There will be two complete days dedicated to the technical presentations.
The Technical and Organization Committee is working on the technical contents of our conference by searching for papers and also setting up a continuation of the new format introduced last year in our sessions: the technical forum — an open debate on one specific topic of Mass Properties.
