It is the world’s oldest and largest technical society dedicated to enhancing the understanding of vertical flight technology.
Each year, the
society organizes or co-sponsors several regional and international conferences that facilitate the advancement of the theory and practices of helicopter and other VTOL aircraft technology, and publishes their proceedings. It publishes the vertical flight technology bi-monthly magazine, Vertiflite, as well as the technical vertical flight publication, The Journal of the American Helicopter Society (JAHS).
The society advocates on behalf of rotorcraft technology to the public and to government bodies. The AHS also awards $50,000 in annual scholarships and sponsors an annual student design competition for undergraduate and graduate student teams. In addition, it presents two dozen annual awards to members of the vertical flight technical community for scientific and technical accomplishments, inspiring rescues, and promoting the goals of the society.
