This CD-ROM includes over 150 technical reports and documents that provide information on aircraft structural design, aerospace material properties, and appropriate methods for fastening or joining various structural materials. Included in the collection are comprehensive material properties data on the vast majority of all metal alloys, composite materials, and wood varieties. These reports have been gathered from NASA, NACA (the predecessor to NASA, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), and the US Department of Defense.

Software Requirements
The CD-ROM is formatted for Windows-based systems, but the contents are platform neutral. The CD-ROM can be used on any system that can view HTML and Adobe PDF files. Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4/2000/XP are all supported.
