Fellow Nominations for 2025 Now Open
Every year SFTE elects a number of individuals to the grade of Fellow, the highest level of membership within the society.
Election to this grade is a recognition of a lifetime of achievement and contribution to the field of flight testing as well as to SFTE. Fellows are honored with presentations at the Annual Symposium Dinner, as well as provided a lifetime membership to SFTE.
Unlike many other professional societies, there is no application process to become a Fellow. Election to Fellow requires members to be nominated by another member of SFTE, who should submit as much detail as possible regarding why they consider this member suitable to join the exclusive ranks of the SFTE Fellowship.
In order to be eligible members must have already been a Senior Member for a minimum of 2 years, and eligible members who are nominated will be voted on by the existing Fellows.
The current list of Senior Members and their upgrade dates is available at the link below - if a date is blank their Senior Membership predates our new membership systems (and hence is more than 2 years).

With the current levels of membership in SFTE up to 4 Fellows may be elected in 2025.
The window for nominations is now open through to May 31st. We encourage all members and chapters to nominate those they feel the most worthy of this singular honor, to join the Fellows listed below.
Nominations will be accepted via the Form below - you will be asked for a name and supporting information for the nomination, to include as much detail as you can provide about the nominee's career history, contributions to Flight Test and involvement with SFTE.
