The ICAS 2004 Congress was held in Yokohama, Japan from August 29 to September 3, 2004. The Japan Society for the Aeronautical and Space Sciences acted as the host Society for ICAS.
The Congress was one of the more successful in the ICAS history and the level of participation was higher than that of the previous Congresses, in Harrogate and Toronto. The number of registered participants was 570 excluding accompanying persons.
More than 500 abstracts for papers were considered in preparing the technical programme. The papers were presented in 8 parallel sessions and ranged from more fundamental scientific topics, having promising aspects for the long term future, to problems of design and safety for the industry today. The programme for this congress contained more sessions than usual on Air Traffic Management and operations as well as sessions on propulsion, provided by ISABE.
More than 300 papers were presented, including a number of very high quality invited General Lectures, which can be downloaded below.
