Just a heads up; I got messaged (nicely for the record) by a representative of Lockheed today, asking that the AIAA papers be removed for copyright reasons. I can't delete the posts because they're too old / other posts have since been made, but I've contacted the mods, so the documents / links to the non-paywalled versions should be deleted soon.

I imagine anyone reading this already has a copy of all of them, but if someone hasn't manages to read this, the documents will still be available at the links mentioned in this post: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=12237&start=310

If you work for a major aerospace company, or if you attend or work for a university, or if you just have access to a local library, check to see if they have free (legal and licensed) access to AIAA's library.

If not, and if you choose to buy some papers, get a membership if you plan on buying multiple; you'll likely save money (depending on the membership type) as members get decent discounts on papers.

I was under the impression that papers authored by government employees or written while on the government dime are public domain as long as they were not classified.

The specific language he used was:

"as there has not been permission granted to publish these papers beyond AIAA (as noted by the copyright notice on each paper). I did check with AIAA and they have not received any requests for use/posting elsewhere, either."

Each AIAA paper is also labelled with:

"Copyright © 2018 by Lockheed Martin Corporation. Published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., with permission."

I'm really not all that knowledgeable on government contractor copyright protection though, so if you want to pursue the matter further I can put you in touch with the guy.

gee, too bad I didn't grab them all earlier.

They are there for the moment - at least for me?

Lucky for me, I took them all

They are still there at "viewtopic" link in the quote BUT YOU MUST SCROLL DOWN AFTER FOLLOWING THE viewtopic LINK to see them. When I first looked this morning it looked at a glance like all of the pdf links had been replaced by links to AIAA website (but then I realized this was just an earlier post). Scroll Down if you want to see pdf links to know if they have been removed.

I currently have a copy of most of them somewhere in my google drive. Guess I got lucky

Public docs like that always tend to understate performance, just look at the range numbers vs the SAR.
