MMPDS-02 (Replacement for Mil–HDBK-5J)
The Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) is the preeminent source for standardized design values and related design information for metallic materials and structural elements used in aerospace structures and for metallic materials design data acceptable to Government procuring or certification agencies.
National CAD Standard NCS
Improve the efficiency in the design and construction process and reduce costs associated with developing and maintaining individual drawing standards. The NCS 3.1 coordinates the efforts of the building design and construction industry by classifying electronic building design data consistently. This allows streamlined communication among owners and design and construction project teams. The United States National CAD Standard™ (NCS) consists of:
American Institute of Architect's CAD Layer Guidelines
Construction Specification Institute's Uniform Drawing System (Modules 1-8)
Tri-Services Plotting Guidelines (as promulgated by the U.S. Department of Defense CAD/GIS Technology Center)

SBAC – The Society of British Aerospace Companies Ltd. Accessed through AV-DATA Online
SBAC documents are used by designers and manufacturers in the aerospace industry to specify, design and maintain aerospace systems and components. SBAC covers the whole spectrum of the industry, from airframes and aero-engines to equipment, materials, guided weapons and satellites. SBAC Standards cover items such as bearings, bolts, clamps, flanges, nuts, pipe connectors, couplings, plugs, pulleys, rivets, screws, sleeves, springs, studs, valves, and much more.
ESDU - Engineering Sciences Data Unit
ESDU International provides validated engineering design data, methods and software for the engineer. These are presented in over 1250 design guides with supporting software and are the result of more than 60 years experience of providing engineers with information, data and techniques for fundamental design and analysis. Endorsed by professional Institutions ESDU data and software form an important part of the design operation of companies large and small throughout the world.
ICAO Standards Service International Civil Aviation Organization
Since 1947 the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has operated as a constituent member of the United Nations. In this role, ICAO fosters the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation.
JAA - Joint Aviation Authorities
The JAA is an associative body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation regulatory authorities of a number of European States who have agreed to cooperate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures. This cooperation is intended to provide high and consistent standards of safety and a "level playing field" for competition in Europe. Much emphasis is also placed on harmonizing the JAA regulations with those of the USA.
