Anthony J. D'Angelo, author of the College Blue Book, states that the total amount of human knowledge doubles every fourteen months. Other sources state figures ranging from one to fifteen years. There are even suggestions that, within our lifetimes, the figure could drop down into the realm of mere months or even weeks.

Over one hundred years ago, when the Wright Brothers first flew their heavier-than-air aeroplane, the quantity of human knowledge was very small: Wilbur based the designs on how the aircraft should turn on observations of the flight of birds. Today's aircraft designer, however, uses many calculations, references, and theories to design everything from small UAVs and homebuilt aircraft to commercial jumbo jets. It is with this aggregation of knowledge in mind that DARcorporation has set up Airplanedesign.aero.

Airplanedesign.aero is dedicated to the ever expanding community of aircraft designers, home builders, RC aircraft designers and UAV enthusiasts. Here you will find information on airplane design, engineering tools, engineering technical documents, links, and a forum where industry experts can answer your questions, make suggestions and help you solve difficult engineering problems.
