On May 13th 2009 the Net Institute organised the conference on aircraft external noise “Aircraft Noise in Poland”. At the conference diverse aspects of aircraft noise were discussed. The main aim of the conference was to identify activities that could be undertaken in Poland in this area. The conference was held under the auspices of X3-NOISE Aircraft External Noise Research Network and Coordination (FP6) and hosted by the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw.
On 24 February the representatives of the Canadian company Pratt Whitney, a leading aircraft engine manufacturer, visited the Institute of Aviation. 
On 24 February the Institute of Aviation hosted the seminar on unmanned aircraft launchers. The lecture given by Witold Perkowski, MSc in engineering, gave rise to a heated discussion about the new technologies used in unmanned aircraft.
The Net Institute has successfully applied for funding under the Operational Programme Innovative Economy. The funds have been allocated to the project “Quick Evaluation of Aircraft Aeroelastic Characteristics during In-Flight Flutter Tests“. The project will be carried out in the years 2009 – 2011.
On 5 May 2009 the formal opening of a new Material Research Laboratory of the Institute of Aviation took place. Owing to the dynamic development of the material research teams of the Engineering Design Center (EDC) of the Institute of Aviation, the laboratory has been moved to the newly refurbished building L. 
On 23 – 24 February Mr Subroto Basu of GE Aviation Engineering visited the Institute in order to discuss the possibility of closer cooperation in research of materials, structures and aircraft engine components. Copyright © 2009 Institute of Aviation
