What does the "Handbook of the Future™" look like? What content does it hold? What value can it provide? The information landscape in 2025 is significantly different than 1998, when the first editors of the SFTE Reference Handbook were crafting it in WordPerfect and Microsoft Publisher. For perspective, 1998 was 27 years ago, and 27 years before that was 1971. 1971 was the year the first email was sent on the ARPANET, introducing the @ symbol, and it was the first e-book, a hand-typed version of the Declaration of Independence. Five years ago, COVID provided the time to convert the SFTE Reference Handbook from obsolete and proprietary formats to a more durable plain text format that includes a means for rendering into both PDF for printing and HTML for web browsers. Better, but still static. Current technology allows for more dynamic, interactive content with relatively low effort.
Join us for a peek at what could be, as well as an active discussion about what information Flight Test Engineers today and tomorrow most need.
