About

Heli Japan was established by the Japan Chapter of Vertical Flight Society (VFS). The first conference was held in Gifu in 1998, and it has since been held every four years in Utsunomiya, Nagoya, Omiya, and Kanazawa.
The Asian/Australian Rotorcraft Forum (ARF) was established by Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, India, Singapore, and Turkey in 2012. This annual conference rotates among these countries. The ARF series has completed one rotation and Japan is the last country of the second round.
In 2026, these two conferences will be held together in Gifu, Japan. Gifu is located in a region that is the center of aeronautical industry in Japan. It also has a long traditional history, especially famous as the hometown to Nobunaga Oda, the first “Great Unifier” in the Sengoku Period (1467-1603) in Japan
