FROM WIKI

The objectives of The Royal Aeronautical Society include: to support and maintain high professional standards in aerospace disciplines; to provide a unique source of specialist information and a local forum for the exchange of ideas; and to exert influence in the interests of aerospace in the public and industrial arenas.

Throughout the world's aerospace community the name of The Royal Aeronautical Society is widely known and respected. Many practitioners of aerospace disciplines use the Society's designatory post-nominals such as FRAeS, CRAeS, MRAeS, AMRAeS, and ARAeS (incorporating the former graduate grade, GradRAeS).

The staff of the Royal Aeronautical Society are based at the Society's headquarters at No.4 Hamilton Place, London, W1J 7BQ.[1] Although centred in the United Kingdom, the Royal Aeronautical Society is a worldwide society with an international network of 63 branches. The headquarters is on the north-east edge of Hyde Park Corner, with the nearest access being Hyde Park Corner tube station.

Branches are the regional embodiment of the Society. They deliver membership benefits and provide a global platform for the dissemination of aerospace information. As of January 2011, the Branches are in: Adelaide; Auckland; Bedford; Belfast; Birmingham; Boscombe Down; Brisbane; Bristol; Brough; Brussels; Cambridge; Canberra; Cardiff; Chester; Christchurch; Christchurch, NZ; Coventry; Cranfield; Cranwell; Cyprus; Derby; Dublin; FAA Yeovilton; Farnborough; Gatwick; Gloucester and Cheltenham; Hamburg; Hamilton; Hatfield; Heathrow; Highland; Hong Kong; Isle of Man; Isle of Wight; Loughborough; Malaysia; Manchester; Marham; Medway; Melbourne; Montreal; Munich; Oxford; Palmerston North; Paris; Perth; Preston; Prestwick; Riyadh; Seattle; Singapore; Solent; Southend; Stevenage; Swindon; Sydney; Toulouse; UAE; Washington DC; Wellington; Weybridge; Xiamen; and Yeovil.

Divisions of the Society have been formed in countries and regions that can sustain a number of Branches. Divisions operate with a large degree of autonomy, being responsible for their own branch network, membership recruitment, subscription levels, conference and lecture programmes.
