NASA to Host Panels, Forums & More at Oshkosh 2024: July 22-28
Each summer, aviation enthusiasts and experts from around the planet—including NASA’s aeronautical innovators—descend into a regional airport near Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to attend the Experimental Aviation Association’s AirVenture Oshkosh. In this 66 second video, get a sense of what NASA’s presence is like at Oshkosh through scenes captured from previous years.
The weeklong airshow and fly-in, where droves of pilots arrive in their own aircraft, draws hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts to enjoy aerial demonstrations, static aircraft displays, aviation-related forums, and hands-on activities for people of all ages and all education levels.
NASA will appear at Oshkosh with a full slate of interactive exhibits, informative activities, and fascinating people to meet. This year’s event, held July 22-28, is chock-full of things to do and see.
If you’re attending Oshkosh this year, here’s a brief summary of what you can expect inside the NASA Pavilion and on the forum stages:
NASA’s pavilion will feature the X-66 sustainable flight demonstrator, X-59 quiet supersonic demonstrator, a Saab 340B, a small drone, an air taxi concept, and a DeHavillland “Dash 7.” The Saaab and Dash 7 are part of the Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration project.
Hands-on educational STEM activities and handouts for kids and adults of all ages
Talks and panels on NASA activities from our leadership, engineers, pilots, and other subject matter experts
Models of NASA aircraft and spacecraft
And if you are looking for certain activities, NASA guides will be available onsite to help you find the ones best suited to you and your group.
NASA Panel Events
In addition to the NASA Pavilion and forum talks, there are also several NASA-focused panels that should not be missed.
For example, the “NASA Artemis Campaign: For All Humankind” panel will be held at 7 p.m. CDT on Friday, July 26 at AirVenture’s Theater in the Woods. The event will feature astronaut Randy Bresnik and subject matter experts discussing the upcoming Artemis II mission.
“Women of NASA,” another great panel, will take place at 8:30 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, July 24, the WomenVenture Center. It will feature several inspiring NASA Women, from senior leaders to project managers and engineers.
A list of all NASA activities is available on AirVenture’s website, and our aeronautical innovators will be inside the NASA Pavilion to assist you.
