ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AIRBREATHING ENGINES

The International Association of Airbreathing Engines (ISABE) was formed to further the free exchange, on an international level, of knowledge in the field of airbreathing propulsion for flight vehicles. ISABE members include individuals and organizations from all nations of the world.

ISABE has several objectives:

• To encourage research and participation in the field of airbreathing propulsion, including advanced power plant concepts, engine and component design; engine/vehicle integration; design and off-design performance and characteristics; fuels, fuel controls and combustion; fluid mechanics and gas dynamics; advanced materials and manufacturing techniques; engine and integrated flight propulsion controls; advanced diagnostic measurement and health monitoring techniques; economic, operations and life cycle cost aspects; airworthiness, type certification, test and evaluation techniques; and manufacturing, maintenance and reliability aspects of propulsion units
  
  
• To participate in international projects of development in the field of airbreathing engines
  
  
• To organize an International Conference on Airbreathing Engines every two years

Who Is Eligible for Membership
Individuals in any country of the world with an active interest and participation in the field of airbreathing propulsion for flight vehicles are eligible to become individual members of ISABE.

Universities, colleges, institutions and research laboratories (both government and non-government sponsored) that accomplish research activities in the field of airbreathing propulsion and manufacturers and users of airbreathing engines or equipment are eligible to become organizational members of ISABE.

Governance
ISABE is governed by its Board of Directors, which is composed of executive officers, including President, Vice-President, two Joint Secretaries, Secretary Treasurer, Founding President and Immediate Past-President to ensure continuity of operations, and the primary delegates (or their alternates) of member nations.
