What's New

March 30, 2012, Chicago - 

Contrails continues to provide access to hard-to-find aerospace technical reports, and to fulfill digitization requests whenever possible.  As it turns out, Google has indexed our pdfs so well that folks seem to be overlooking our own search engine.  This is unfortunate, as it seems to have depressed the demand for scanning of reports.  Please keep in mind that publicly available reports may be requested for digitization by clicking on the appropriate link in the record.  As a result of our coming to this realization, we intend to move back to a more concerted effort at digitizing reports rather than relying on requests.

Contrails would like to thank the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) Library, and Bombardier Aerospace for their donations of technical reports since the last update.
