About Aerospace Federation

Organizational Structure

Aerospace Federation brings institutional governance, technical cooperation, membership participation and programme delivery together within a structured organizational framework.

Federation-wide model

Four connected layers support one institutional purpose.

The organizational model distinguishes formal governance, technical and professional contribution, participation relationships, and the programmes through which Federation capacity becomes useful activity.

Understand the distinction

Function and authority answer different questions.

A map of Federation activity is not a delegation of decision rights.

Who contributes?

Councils bring broad perspectives; Technical Committees maintain subject continuity; Working Groups undertake focused work within a remit. Participation is not automatic authority.

Governance structure
Who decides?

Consult the applicable mandate and governing records. Technical advice, operational coordination, oversight and programme decisions should remain identifiable.

Decision-making and oversight

How the layers work

Each layer has a distinct institutional function.

Governance
Defines institutional authority, accountability, direction and oversight through the responsibilities established by governing documents.
Technical participation
Brings relevant expertise into Councils, Technical Committees, Working Groups, research collaboration and other defined professional settings.
Membership
Creates a structured relationship through which eligible institutions and professionals can participate in the Federation ecosystem.
Programmes
Translate institutional capacity into technical work, accreditation, research, publications, education and professional exchange.

Relationship between the layers

Participation, contribution and formal authority remain identifiable.
