SynTrac at AIAA SciTech Forum 2026
SynTrac participated in the AIAA SciTech Forum in Orlando, Florida (12–16 January 2026), the world’s largest dedicated aerospace research and development event, bringing together nearly 6,000 participants from over 40 countries to present and discuss the latest advances in aerospace science and technology.
Within this international forum, Manuel Zeitler from Technische Universität Braunschweig presented paper AIAA-2026-1106, “Simulation of Propulsion Integration of Rear Mounted Electric Engine Simulators for Wind Tunnel Testing.” The presentation highlighted how SynTrac contributes to successfully advancing propulsion integration research.

This contribution addresses key topics of the SciTech Forum and contributes to discussions on the integration of novel propulsion systems, as well as the increased use of high-fidelity simulations and experimental validation in the development of future aircraft concepts.
The presentation positioned SynTrac’s research within a wider community focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of propulsion-airframe integration studies, an essential step toward enabling more sustainable aircraft concepts. Across the forum, strong emphasis was placed on bridging simulation, experiment, and system-level design to accelerate innovation in environmentally responsible aviation.
The event provided an important opportunity to engage with the international aerospace community and situate SynTrac’s work within ongoing global efforts to shape the future of flight.
