Yesterday, I asked the V/STOL TC membership to register themselves in ScholarOne for SciTech 2027. ScholarOne is the AIAA's online tool to manage and build the technical program of technical sessions -papers, panels, and more. Dr. Signh asked me to confirm.
And I thought I would just show you a glimpse of ScholarOne where the Technical Discipline Chair (TDC) and deputies organize the abstract proposals and assign reviewers to score them, which informs the TDC's decisions to accept or reject an author's proposed paper.
Check out the screenshot attached to this post. ScholarOne lists the available reviewers on the left column, and the abstract proposals that authors submitted to the V/STOL discipline on the right column. As of noon on 21May2026 we have about 28 V/STOL reviewers and 4 V/STOL abstract submissions. So far, so good. The deadline for authors is still 8+ hours in the future, and our TDC, Dr. Mahdis Bishiban, may have approved extensions for other authors who requested them.
After the abstracts arrive, the TDC assigns abstracts to reviewers and the reviewers have until about 18 June complete their reviews and the TDC needs to make accept/reject decisions by 25 June 2026. The selected authors will present their work at the next SciTech in January 2027.
P.S. for Dr.Singh: you are in our pool of VSTOL Reviewers.
