How does MMPDS 03 differ from 01?
(OP)
See also thread thread2-188116: www.tc.faa.gov ...mmpds-01. Like many people I'm wondering if I can make a case for buying MMPDS in it's latest version. It's hard when we don't know how it's been enhanced over the last free version.
Can anybody help?

What was the purpose of allowing a private corporation (Battelle in this case) the copyrights to the publicly funded MIL-HDBK-5? So that the private corp. puts a bunch of money into improving this document, sells it, then recoups its investment? Or to give a large private corp. a boondoggle?

MMPDS 01 was prepared throughout 2002 and released in 2003, almost the same time as MIL-HDBK-5J. 02 came out in about 2005, I think, and now 03 in 2007.
The history of MIL-HDBK-5 is interesting (to some of us!). I've got a version from 1962, and a copy of its predecessor ANC-5 from 1951. They make interesting reading. There's some historical data from Batelle, who seem to have been somewhat involved from the '50s. http://projects.battelle.org/mmpds/history.pdf
There's also an Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories Technical Report, AFWAL-TR-84-4123 from 1984 about the history of MIL-HDBK-5. A copy seems to be at http://st
There's a bit more stuff at http:
In the UK the original government sponsored stuff was issued as DEF STAN 00932, which was taken over by ESDU way back when (the '70s?). You can only reach it if you pay ESDU/IHS for access. Does anyone know of any other public archives with proper allowables (A and B basis, etc.) data?

MS20470AD4 rivet, 1/8" diameter, now allows 389 Pounds shear (it used to be 388).
Woohoo.

A whole extra pound...it might just fix that margin of -0.00257 I got last week.

Anyone know where ANC-5 is on the web, or where I can get a copy? I like to collect historical documents relating to aircraft design and maintenance.

If not, try using http://stinet.dtic.mil/ to search for it.
I've not really tried looking for earlier versions.
