This compilation was originally supported by the NASA/USRA Advanced Design Program and the NASA/Navy Control Power Requirements Study. The material has been collected from several different sources. These include a bibliography of supersonic aerodynamic design prepared at Grumman, a control power bibliography for the Navy/NASA control power study group and the 1993 Aircraft Design Short Course given to the Naval Air Warfare Center, Warminster, PA. Nathan Kirschbaum and Alex Benoliel reviewed it and suggested additions. Fred Lutze and Wayne Durham contributed to the control power section.
