Operational Readiness Through Training Innovation for Tomorrow's Aircrew
 

Recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran theater have fundamentally reshaped operational realities, exposing critical gaps in how we prepare military aviators for modern warfare. Today's threat environments demand training systems that go far beyond what legacy platforms were designed to deliver.

As nations face major procurement transitions, military aviation leaders are confronting unprecedented challenges:
  • Persistent pilot shortages threatening operational readiness
  • Evolving mission requirements that outpace current training capabilities
  • Multi-domain operations requiring new pilot competencies
  • Information saturation in increasingly contested environments
  • Human-machine teaming with unmanned systems
Where Strategy Meets Innovation

As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, MFTC provides an unrivalled platform for airpower leaders, training experts, and technology innovators to address the most pressing questions facing military aviation training today:
  • How do we accelerate pilot readiness without compromising quality?
  • What training technologies can bridge the gap between simulation and reality?
  • How do we prepare pilots for multi-domain, information-rich battlespaces?
  • Which procurement strategies deliver both capability and value?
The future of military aviation depends on the training decisions we make today. Be part of the solution.

Military Flight Training 2026 will address training challenges and opportunities for the full range of aircrews, from fixed wing to rotary wing, fast jet and multi-engine aircraft, including 5th and 6th generation fighter aircraft, to ensure that as an Alliance, we stay one step ahead, in contested environments. 

Attracting 400+ leaders from across the military aviation training ecosystem from over 40 nations, Military Flight Training takes place at a time where guaranteeing air dominance and strike capability has never been tougher.
