This document provides a systematically organised collection of abstracts from the NTIS bibliographic data base relating to fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft technology, but only describing work originating from countries outside the USA. A tailored search of the data base was performed and the output carefully categorized, edited and indexed. The reports range widely in content and encompass all principal aspects of civil and military aviation. Much of the technology originates from Western Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, France and West Germany. Many reports from AGARD are included. Other important sources of documents are Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Most reports are in their native language, but some translations are available, all titles are annotated accordingly. Contents: Fixed wing aircraft(Aircraft design, Aerodynamics, Structures and materials, Aeronautical engineering, Engines, Aircraft control technology, Instrumentation, Flight evaluation, Aviation safety), Rotary wing aircraft(Aerodynamics and design, Airframes and engines, Fatigue evaluation, Enviromental engineering, Flight control systems, Instrumentation, Airworthiness and safety, Towing applications.) About 90 percent of the records relate to fixed wing aircraft and the headings in this section are further sub-divided. Each of the 46 sections in the book is cross-referenced, there is also an author index and useful subject index based on major descriptors.
