The 3AF International Conference on Applied Aerodynamics is an annual event organised by the French Aeronautics and Aerospace Society (3AF) at French venues between researchers of all nations leading an activity in aeronautics or aerospace.

It is an excellent opportunity for scientific exchanges between researchers from industry, research institutions and academia. Researchers from other fields are also welcome as the current theme englobes the whole transport and energy sector.

Each year the conference addresses a particular topic in aerodynamics. It is organised on the basis of five half-days of technical presentations, each introduced by a keynote conference from a recognised expert and is concluded by a technical tour in connection with the conference theme.
