Preparing The Next-Generation Of Aviators For The Multi-Domain Fight!
Airspace remains increasingly contested. Training capability of near-peer competitors continues to advance at an unprecedented rate. In the current dynamic and unpredictable security environment, NATO allies must work together to further expand the proficiency and readiness of military aircrew, for the future fight.
Military Flight Training 2025 will address training challenges and opportunities for the full range of aircrews, from fixed wing to rotary wing, fast jet and multi-engine aircraft, including 5th and 6th generation fighter aircraft, to ensure that as an Alliance, we stay one step ahead, in contested environments.
Now in its 24th year, MFTC provides an unrivalled platform for senior leaders from across the Military Flight Training spectrum, including pilots, ground crew, procurement specialists, capability planners, and operators to meet with industry leaders from across the primes and small businesses, as we grapple with an ever-evolving set of priorities faced by aircrew.
Attracting 300+ leaders from across the military aviation training ecosystem from over 40 nations, Military Flight Training takes place at a time where guaranteeing air dominance and strike capability has never been tougher.
