The National Aerospace Propulsion Conference (NAPC) is a national conference with focus on aerospace propulsion technologies. The conference is an amalgamation of the erstwhile conducted National Propulsion Conference (NPC) and National Conference on Air-Breathing Engines (NCABE) conferences. This conference is intended to bring together the entire propulsion community spanning air-breathing and non-air-breathing propulsion. The conference will be an ideal opportunity to showcase one′s research activities with peers and also foster future collabo- rations through networking. The first National Aerospace Propulsion Conference (NAPC-2017) was organized by Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. The second NAPC (NAPC-2018) is being organized by Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
