Gulfstream Aerospace is developing a digital database to preserve decades of its aircraft engineering documents. The Savannah, Georgia aircraft manufacturer is converting all records, CAD files, and other documents into machine-readable PDFs, which are then cataloged in a searchable database, dubbed the Aircraft Information Retrieval (AIR) systems.
