Propulsion Resources
CPIA is the national clearinghouse for worldwide information on chemical, electrical, and nuclear propulsion. Our library and reports vault owns many CPIA and JANNAF reports, and many are also available via DTIC.
*IACs are DoD sponsored but charge for some services. Also SEE TEMS for some
THE most comprehensive engineering resource. Covers aerospace engineering; electronics and communications engineering; engineering management; mechanical engineering; nuclear technology; computers and data processing; and applied physics.
A web portal for anyone working in the areas of propulsion, power, and combustion research, education and directly related topics. It includes links to labs, continuing education, publications, directories, etc.
The links give details of journal and conference publications, theses, dissertations and other reports published by members of the group.
- (Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force)
Some JANNAF Interagency Propulsion Committee reports are available from DTIC. Our library and Reports Vault owns some reports, and many are available from DTIC. *IACs are DoD sponsored but charge for some services.
Over 5,100 public domain technical papers presented at Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force conferences since 1974. These public papers cover combustion science, propulsion system safety and hazards, environmental protection, toxicology, materials technology, nondestructive evaluation, and energetic materials research. (Note: Requires registering and PDFs cost $24.00 each.) Also see Chemical Propulsion Information Agency (CPIA), and TEMS. To have our library order these please

Science Citation Index Expanded (part of the "Web of Science"). Provides access to current and retrospective cited references from the world's leading science and technical journals. AFRL coverage 1990 to present. Prepaid version available on AFIT computers in library - 1988 to present.
It is one of "the world's largest collection of science, technology and medicine full text and bibliographic information," and the library connects you to millions of scholarly articles available from 1995+. Includes all journals published by Elsevier, Academic Press, Pergamon, North-Holland and others.
We have access to most of the journals published by the American Institute of Physics; American Physical Society; Acoustical Society of America; American Society of Mechanical Engineers; American Vacuum Society; International Centre for Diffraction Data; Laser Institute of America; and MAIK (the Russian Academy of Sciences). Many older issues are in the Library.
Searches across 167 million science-specific Web pages including full-text journal sources like: BioMed Central, MEDLINE, Science Direct (Elsevier, Academic Press, etc.), Scitation (AIP, APS, ASME, SPIE, etc.), and the Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, as well as NASA reports, and various e-print and patent databases. Connects to millions of full-text subscription and free files.
