The International Symposium on Electric Aviation and Autonomous Systems (ISEAS 2023) is a multi-disciplinary symposium that presents research in aerospace, autonomous and piloted unmanned systems. The 2023 conference proceedings provide insights on a broad range of current issues in aviation, including hybrid, electric, all-electric, and fuel cell aerial vehicles, electric generation, energy storage, propulsion technology, and new identification and detection systems that adapt to the latest technology standards. ISEAS allows researchers, scientists, engineers, practitioners, policymakers, and students to exchange information, present new technologies and developments, and discuss future direction, strategies, and priorities in aviation and sustainability.
