From Airworthiness to “Spaceworthiness”?
2011The success of experimental suborbital flights and the Ansari X Prize of 2004 suggested an important development of a brand new industry and the potential for private companies to thrive in the commercial human spaceflight. To support the development of such activities and ensure public health and safety, the FAA has issued a first set of ...

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1981
In my introductory article, “Airworthiness — A Systems Approach”, last March, I expressed the hope that eminent engineers from all the disciplines and activities on which “total airworthiness” (my phrase) depends, would be persuaded by Aircraft Engineering to contribute articles on their own specialisations.

Airworthiness—the lessons to be learned
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1981At the beginning of this series of articles Mr. Major sought a definition of the word “airworthiness”. Having consulted the Concise Oxford Dictionary he was clearly less than satisfied with the simplicity of the dictionary's definition that “airworthy” meant “fit to fly”.

Airworthiness — An Insurer's View
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1980Airworthiness to an Insurer means basically one thing and that is safety. Hopefully, despite considerations of the economic viability of an aircraft for the job in question it basically means the same to the Aviation Industry. Product safety is a goal at which manufacturers have obviously been aiming since the birth of Aviation technology and there is ...

Airworthiness and the Air Registration Board
The Aeronautical Journal, 1970To be invited to give the British Commonwealth lecture was an honour which I was proud to accept. As one whose professional life has been concerned mainly with airworthiness of civil aircraft, the choice of the title of the lecture was simple.But I found some difficulty in choosing a theme.

The aircraft manufacturer’s approach to airworthiness
The Aeronautical Journal, 1982Airworthiness — fitness for flight — is one of the main factors influencing aircraft design. This joint paper discusses the problems of managing airworthiness and some of the methods used in an aircraft design organisation dealing with new and development designs and ‘in service’ aircraft.External standards of airworthiness are set by many national and

British civil airworthiness requirements for airships
The Aeronautical Journal, 1973Prior to 1937, responsibility for civil aviation in the UK, including airworthiness and operation of airships, was vested in the Air Ministry, a Government department, and it was only in 1937 that it was devolved to an independent authority, the Air Registration Board, which is now the Airworthiness Division of the CAA.The first involvement of the CAA ...

Fifty Years of Military Airworthiness
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1966What, for that matter, is the meaning of Airworthiness? In the early years, aerodynamics and structural strength were the main preoccupations of those concerned with the safety of aircraft and their crews, and “airworthy” meant little more than that the aircraft was believed to be safe to fly.
