AeroFacts
AeroFacts is a varied collection of data related to aerospace technology. This resource is constantly in the process of development, as new information is being added. Due to the size of this database, it is not simple to present it on the Web in an easy-to-access format. I used Java to squeeze as much data as possible into a relatively compact interface.
The drawback of doing so is that, depending on your connection speed and computer capabilities, you may need to give the page some time to load. Important: let the page finish loading. Currently this interface does not work in Google Chrome, due to the latter’s lack of advanced Java support.
