Noosphere, an organisation focused on scientific research and information provision, has been the FAI’s Global Technical Partner since early 2017.

For the FAI, this partnership has allowed access to the highly efficient event management system eNavigator, which was used with great success at a number of competitions in 2017 – including The World Games.

Here, Noosphere co-founder Max Polyakov explains why his company’s cutting-edge technology is such a perfect fit with the air sports world.

Female pilots and athletes have contributed hugely to the world of air sports over the more than 100 years the FAI has been established. So it is hardly surprising that women hold a number of important positions within the FAI today. Former FAI Executive Director Gillian Rayner (another female first) – recently elected to head up the Federation’s first all-female Commission bureau – is one of them.

Organising and running a world-class air sports event is now easier than ever before, thanks to the eNavigator system designed by FAI Global Technical Partner Noosphere Ventures, founded by Max Polyakov.

The cutting edge event management system, which continues to be developed by Noosphere in cooperation with the FAI, aims to provide everything needed to organise and host a successful sports competition.

The sessions of the 111th FAI General Conference were held at the Royal Savoy Hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 26 and 27 October 2017.

More than 100 delegates from Active, Associate Member Countries and International Affiliate Members were present, as well as FAI elected Officers, Presidents of Honour, Companions of Honour, delegates appointed by Presidents of Commissions and Observers.

FAI has launched its new website, offering easier access and an up-to-date design that works on mobile, tablet and desktop.

The address is www.fai.org.  

The FAI website now features a cleaner look and a simpler navigation structure, making it easy for all those interested in air sports to keep in touch with what is happening in the competition scene, in world records and more generally in air sports.
