The Aerade Reports Archive incorporates more than ten thousand, historically significant, digitised reports from: The Aeronautical Research Council (ARC) - the principal agency in Great Britain with a major output of reports on matters aeronautical, which existed from 1909-1979, and published reports until 1980 and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) - chartered in 1915 and operational from 1917-1958.

An independent group charged with examining all safety related issues in NASA's human space flight projects. Contents include mission statement, annual report and panel composition.

The accompanying data sets to the book Civil jet aircraft design by Jenkinson, Simpkin and Rhodes. Contains the aircraft data file, engine data file, airport data file, atmosphere and airspeeds and units and conversion factors.

Allows for download of simulation software for predicting airflow around various airfoil shapes.

From the Dept. of Aeronautical Engineering at the Univ. of Illinois, this list identifies many types of aircraft and the airfoils that were used in their construction.

Contains detailed technical diagrams and drawings of spacecraft and systems from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, and Space Shuttle programs.

This site provides access to the appendices of Theory of Airfoil Sections. These appendices contain tables of coordinates of a selection of NACA profiles, mean lines and sections. Note: Some links on the page may not be maintained.

Sponsored by the Dept. of Aerospace Engineering at the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this is a collection of over 1,500+ airfoil coordinates. The site also has links to additional airfoil Web pages.

Designed for potential wind tunnel customers, this site describes the Ames Research Center and provides information regarding available wind tunnels and test planning procedures.
