A complete and comprehensive issue on the contribution of standards for the aerospace industry has just been published.  

The issue brings together the most up-to-date portfolio of articles – from the world’s largest passenger plane, Airbus A380, to the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft used to help monitor NASA's Deep Impact mission – together with concrete examples illustrating the benefits of International Standards.

In an exclusive interview, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Executive Director Robert S. Dickman gives his personal viewpoint on where and how International Standards add value.
