Welcome from the President of the International Council of theAeronautical Sciences (ICAS), Dr. Susan X. Ying

It is our great pleasure to invite you tothe 31st International Council of the

Aeronautical Sciences(ICAS) Congress, theonly internationalforum that covers theworld of aeronautics.ICAS was established60 years ago under theleadership of ProfessorTheodore von Karman.

Today ICAS continues to support thework of aerospace professional MemberSocieties from 40 countries around theworld. Through Associate Memberships,ICAS brings together industry, nationallaboratories and academia. This worldcongress is the key opportunity for theprofessionals to meet face-to-face,present, network, discuss and createopportunities that can only be done insuch an international forum. The 2018ICAS Congress will be held in BeloHorizonte, Brazil; the first time inSouth America.

The global aerospace industry is now onthe cusp of its Third Revolution. The FirstRevolution took us to the jet age. TheSecond Revolution brought us to todaywhere at any given time, there arethousands of commercial jets in the air.With the convergence of breakthroughinnovations yielding unprecedentedintegrated capabilities, we can now openthe design space beyond the traditionaltube-and-wings and fossil-fuel basedpower plant. This rapid pace oftechnological and disruptivedevelopments coupled with the diversityof business challenges facing our industrymakes the 2018 ICAS Congress anunique opportunity to learn from andinteract with the global innovatorsand leaders in the aeronauticalsciences.

The ICAS Program Committee ensuresthat congress presentations cover notonly core aeronautical disciplines but alsotopics that reflect new challenges andopportunities facing us today. Moreimportantly, areas showing rapid growingimpact have been strategicallyhighlighted in the 2018 agenda includingfor example: Additive Manufacturing (3DPrinting), Model Based SystemsEngineering, and All (or Hybrid) ElectricAircraft.

For the 2018 ICAS Congress, we areintroducing a marquee programelement, the Technology LeadershipForum (TLF). This is a new panel forumwith globally respected panelists who areinnovators and leaders of the thematictopic area. The particular TLF theme is“Intelligent and Autonomous Technology”.There is sure to be passionate discussionon unmanned air vehicles and human-machine teaming, along with theoperational challenges these technologiespresent for urban mobility and in theglobal air transport system.

We have benefitted from a high level ofsponsorship from a number ofcompanies whose names you will seeprominently displayed. Some companieshave also contributed to the impressiveexhibition. We invite you to join us andhave a very enjoyable time participatingat the congress; or just being inspired,informed, and enjoying the company ofold friends and new friends alike fromaround the world at the many socialevents and technical tours that we havearranged.

We look forward to seeing you in BeloHorizonte!

ICAS Organization and Committees

THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE AERONAUTICAL SCIENCESICAS was founded by Theodore von Karman in 1957 as a non-government not-for-profit scientific organization to encourage the free international exchange ofinformation on aeronautical research and technology.

The mission of ICAS is to provide regularly scheduled events and publicationsthat enable a better understanding of engineering science and practice and animproved level of cooperation among aeronautical engineering professionalsfrom around the world. ICAS currently serves as the only international supportorganization to representative aeronautical engineering professional societiesand their members in 30 countries.

ICAS functions under three primary bodies: Council (meets biennially), ExecutiveCommittee (meets at least twice each year) and Programme Committee (meetsannually). ICAS holds an International Congress in the fields of AeronauticalSciences on a biennial basis. The venue is chosen by the Council and changesfrom Congress to Congress. Furthermore ICAS organizes a thematic workshop inthe year between the congresses in connection with the meeting of the ProgramCommittee.

Useful InformationTime Difference / Business HoursBrazilian time is 3 hours after Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-3). Business hours forbanks are generally from 10:00 to 16:00 on weekdays only. Banks are closed onSaturdays, Sundays and public holidays, however, their dedicated ATMs arewidely available especially at shopping malls.

CurrencyBrazil’s currency is the real (R$, BRL). There are 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 realbills. Fractions of the real are called centavos and circulate in the form of coins.Coins come in 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos as well as a 1 real coin. Since the 1centavo coin was removed from circulation, if a bill with a fractioned value (e.g.,R$ 24.52) is paid using cash, the change may be rounded up/down to the nearestvalue. If, on the other hand, you pay the same bill using the credit card, you willpay the exact amount.

Currency exchange can be performed at designated establishments at airports orat shopping malls. Banks may also perform these transactions but only at specificagencies.

Credit cards are widely accepted in major cities, especially in restaurants, shopsand supermarkets. However, smaller towns, taxis or other small businesses mayonly take cash. Moreover, MasterCard and Visa flags are more widely acceptedthan American Express or Diners/Discover. In addition, certain currency exchangecompanies sell pre-paid local currency cards that can be used in Brazil. Eitherway, it is advisable to ask first if the establishment will accept your specific card.

TippingTipping is not a traditional custom in Brazil. A 10% service charge may be addedto your bill at restaurants and hotels. It is also not necessary to tip a taxi driverunless he assists you with luggage or provides an extra service.

LanguageAlthough the official language of the congress is English, Brazil’s official languageis Portuguese (more specifically, the Brazilian Portuguese). While the staff atairports and hotels as well as academic and industry members mostly speakEnglish, the average citizen (this includes shop clerks and taxi drivers) may not.Therefore, it is advisable to have a few “magic words” at hand.

Being a Latin-derived language, Spanish, French and Italian speakers may find iteasier to understand and pronounce most of the vocabulary. In any event, havinga translation or pronunciation tool at hand may prove to be helpful.

Electricity & VoltageThe electricity supply commonly used in Brazil is the127-volt 60Hz system. However, most airports andsome cities use 220-volt wiring. As such, one isadvised to check your electronic equipment and theavailable power outlet beforehand. Moreover, Braziluses power plugs and outlets of Type N, whichconsists of three round pins; two parallel (live) anda third one (ground) in the middle and slightlyabove the centerline. However, since thisstandardization happened quite recently (2010), it ispossible to be faced with different outlets in olderestablishments. These may include Types A&B andType C.

37

CellphonesThe Brazilian mobile network has some peculiarities when compared to the rest ofthe world, leading to some devices not functioning. Restrictions and regulations inthis area are defined by Anatel, an acronym for National TelecommunicationsAgency. There is not a specific brand whose devices do not work in Brazil, butdevices that are not aligned to some Anatel specifications may be useless whenarriving in the country.

As a general rule, cellphones must be compatible with a GSM network, whichstands for Global System for Mobile. Countries like the United States and someAsian nations use the CDMA network, which stands for Code Division MultipleAccess. There are different frequency variations inside GSM. Each Brazilianmobile operators use a band. Simply speaking, each band is like a “road” used bydifferent services. More specifically, there are four GSM frequencies in Brazil:

850 MHz; 900 MHz; 1800 MHz; 1900 MHz.

The best way to prevent any headaches is to check if the mobile phone beingbrought to Brazil works in various frequencies — in other words, if it isquadriband. Also, cellphones that are not homologated by Anatel may sufferinterferences and other malfunctions. In these cases, the agency states that anyeventual service flaws presented by non-homologated devices are theresponsibility of the consumers.If you are willing to bring your cellphone from abroad or if you want to buy amobile phone in countries other than Brazil, make sure you follow therecommendations below:
