Currently, the integration of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and new sensors is driving aircraft toward higher levels of autonomy and intelligence. Whether it is civil airliners, unmanned aerial vehicles, or deep space probes, their control systems and navigation accuracy are facing unprecedented high standards. The 2nd International Academic Conference on Aircraft Control and Navigation Technology (ACNT 2026) will be held in Zhengzhou, China, from September 11 to 13, 2026. The conference will focus on research areas such as “low-altitude economy,” “aircraft control,” and “navigation technology.” This year’s conference aims to promote international academic exchange and collaboration, providing a platform for participants to showcase their research results and discuss the latest developments and future trends in the field. We sincerely invite researchers, engineers, and academia from around the world to join this grand event, collectively advancing the development of aircraft control and navigation technology to address new scientific and technological challenges and serve societal needs.
