AirCorps Library is an online service that makes aircraft manufacturing drawings, specifications, and documents/manuals available to subscribers. Currently, the available content is focused on WW2 aviation and the target subscriber base consists of those in the aircraft maintenance industry, aircraft restorers, aircraft modelers, owners, and aviation enthusiasts. AirCorps Library also hosts resources for groups that own and/or support specific models of aircraft (type clubs) and some commercial aviation concerns. The business model is subscription based with annual and monthly plans. The type clubs and commercial concerns may utilize other types of subscriptions.
AirCorps Library differentiates between subscribers and non-subscribers, and offers specific data to the users in these two demographics. Subscribers and non-subscribers access the AirCorps Library website from different platforms, each of which is managed by a separate program. The AirCorps Library home page (http://www.aircorpslibrary.com) serves as a junction for subscribers and non-subscribers to navigate to their respective areas of the site (https://app.aircorpslibrary.com/ for subscribers, and https://aircorpslibrary.com/purchase-manuals/ for non-subscribers).
AirCorps Library allows subscribers the opportunity to purchase digital versions of drawings and documents, and non-subscribers the ability to purchase digital documents, using various pricing models. The library consists of approximately 500,000 drawings and 12,000 documents. The backing storage for those resources is made up of approximately 570,000,000 files (blobs) requiring approximately 12TB of data storage. Sets of drawings and documents are added to the site on a regular basis.
AirCorps Library is a single traditional cloud based web application. It is implemented with Model-View-Controller architecture.
