Theme : Aerodynamics of Next Generation Flight Vehicle Configurations

"A premier platform uniting the aerodynamics community to exchange advancements and drive innovation in aerospace research and development."

What is SAROD?

The Symposium on Applied Aerodynamics and Design of Aerospace Vehicles (SAROD) is India's premier conference dedicated to the aerodynamics and aerospace vehicle design community. It serves as a vital platform for experimental, computational, theoretical and vehicle design aerodynamic professionals to exchange insights, showcase advancements, and collaborate on the future technologies.

Organisers

The inaugural SAROD conference, SAROD-2003, was hosted by ADA, Bangalore in 2003. Held biennially, it has continued to evolve and expand. This year's symposium, SAROD 2026, is the eleventh edition representing a significant milestone in this journey. It is uniquely positioned as a joint initiative between National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL) and Trust for the Advancement of Aerodynamics in India (TAAI).
