Aerospace and defense development is complex with high-stakes consequences for mission performance, safety and national security. Even the best engineered system or product will fail without proper attention to all of the interdisciplinary requirements needed to “make it fly.”

This website includes a range of books, articles, in-depth research papers, interviews, and podcasts that take a pragmatic view of aerospace and defense industry topics. Each work explores not only a particular concept, but how it may be impacted by one or more critical success factors.
