01 -- Aviation Technology

01	Aerodynamics	Flight characteristics and problems of full-scale or model aircraft and their components as they are affected by the dynamics of air; Flight testing and wind tunnel testing. Includes theoretical and experimental aerodynamics as applied to missiles, See 16/02/01, Guided Missile Dynamics, Configurations and Control Surfaces. For the behavior of spacecraft in air, see 22/03, Spacecraft Trajectories and Reentry. For the aerodynamics of ground structures, see 13/13, Structural Engineering and Building Technology
02	Military Aircraft Operations	Military aircraft operations such as takeoff Operations and landing, air traffic, all weather and night flight, taxiing, approach, and inflight refueling; Flight safety; Ground safety; Aviation accident studies; Aircraft simulators and training devices. For missile operations, see Field 16, Guided Missile Technology. For spacecraft operations, See Field 22, Space Technology. For navigation and air traffic control, see 17/07/03, Air Navigation and Guidance.
03	Aircraft	Design, production, and maintenance of aircraft, aircraft components, and aircraft equipment; Structural studies of complete aircraft components such as airframes, bodies, and wings. Airworthiness; Crashworthiness; Aircraft damage assessment and vulnerability studies; effects of gunfire and blast on aircraft and flight equipment. For civilian aircraft, See 01/03/09, Civilian Aircraft. For specific types of aircraft, See subgroups 01/03/01 - 01/03/12. See also Field 16, Guided Missile Technology and Field 22, Space Technology.
