Lectures
The AeSSA hosts and facilitates monthly lectures, either in Gauteng or in the Western Cape, on a range of topics relevant to the local aerospace community. Through industry contact and partnerships, local and international presenters are invited, and venues are chosen to enhance the experience for participants.
The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) has started recording their talks and you can listen to them as podcasts. Access these podcasts and let us know what you think of them. Two recommendations by AeSSA member Stefan Rassmann:
Classic Lecture Series: The Miles M.52 project by Mike Hirst
Classic Lecture Series: From antiquity to the era of the Wrights by J. A. D. Ackroyd
