The 9 webinars you need to register for this month!
This month Aviation Week Network will be hosting two community forums - Aerospace & Defense and Air Transport - designed to bring the global aviation industry together to support the critical need for information exchange. 

From drones and the future of vertical lift to CEO firesides and commercial aircraft development, take a look at the March's upcoming webinars below.
 
BUSINESS AVIATION
March 12, 2021 | 11:00 EST / 16:00 GMT / 17:00 CET

The FAA’s new Part 89 regulation for the Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft takes effect on March 16, 2021, and will require that nearly all small drones be capable of broadcasting their position by September 2023.

How will the requirement work in practice and what are the implications for drone operator privacy? The webinar will also consider the topics of Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management and commercial drone operations.
 
AEROSPACE & DEFENSE COMMUNITY FORUM
March 15, 2021 | 10:00 EDT / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET

Exciting new technologies and designs are beginning to broaden dramatically the once-limited horizons of vertical lift. Can industry break out of the mold that has shaped this sector for decades? 

Nick Lappos, Sikorsky senior technical fellow and chair of the U.S. National Academies Committee on Advanced Air Mobility, and Mike Hirschberg, executive director of the Vertical Flight Society, join Aviation Week editors for a deep dive into what’s coming and which ideas are most likely to succeed.
 
March 17, 2021 | 10:00 EDT / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET

Soaring sales of the A321neo and the woes of Boeing’s 737 MAX have enabled Airbus to make big gains in market share. Can a cash-strapped Boeing afford to develop a new aircraft in response – and if it does, what would be the best approach? And how much life is left in “conventional” aircraft and engine designs now that pressure on the industry is mounting for carbon-neutral travel?

Aerospace analyst Sash Tusa joins Aviation Week editors for a look at what’s coming in aircraft and engine design, from the near-term to the long-term.
 
March 18, 2021 | 14:00 EDT / 18:00. GMT / 19:00 CET

New administrations always usher in policy changes. The question is how much U.S. President Joe Biden plans to change at the Pentagon – and what policies and programs he is likely to retain. How will the nation’s fighter, bomber, tanker, helicopter and UAVs programs fare? What thinking will drive policy on missiles, missile defense and the fledgling Space Force? Are changes in store for military exports?

Join Aviation Week editors and guests as they discuss the emerging priorities of the U.S. and its relationships with military allies.
 
AIR TRANSPORT COMMUNITY FORUM
March 26
6:00 EDT / 10:00 GMT
