NAPC 2018, IIT Kharagpur

About the conference

The National Aerospace Propulsion Conference (NAPC) is a national conference with focus on aerospace propulsion technologies. The conference is an amalgamation of the erstwhile conducted National Propulsion Conference (NPC) and National Conference on Air-Breathing Engines (NCABE) conferences. This conference is intended to bring together the entire propulsion community spanning air-breathing and non-air-breathing propulsion. The conference will be an ideal opportunity to showcase one′s research activities with peers and also foster future collaborations through networking. The first National Aerospace Propulsion Conference (NAPC-2017) was organized by Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. The second NAPC (NAPC-2018) is being organized by Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

About NCABE

The National Committee on Air breathing Engines was founded in 1992 as a trust to provide a forum and stimulus to the R&D activities in the field of aerospace propulsion in the country. The first National Conference, NCABE was held in Bangalore in 1992 and since then NCABE has been a well attended major technical event held at different aero- space institutions across the country. NCABE serves as the Indian complement for the International Conference on Air Breathing Engines (ISABE).
