Description: This document contains design information on the strength properties of metallic materials and elements for aerospace vehicle structures.
Notes: "April 2008."

"MMPDS-04 is the replacement to MMPDS-03 and prior editions as well as the replacement for all editions of MIL-HDBK-5, Metallic materials and elemets for aerospace vehicle structures handbook that was maintained by the U.S. Air Force. The last edition, MIL-HDBK-5J, was classified as noncurrent in the spring of 2004. This document contains design information on the strength properties of metallic materials and elemets for aitrcraft and aerospace vehicle structures. All information and data contained in the Handbook has been reviewed and approved in a standardized development process. The development and ongoind maintenance process involves certifying agencies, including the FAA, DoD, and NASA, and major material suppliers and material users worldwide. The data and procedures in this Handbook are continuously reviewed, and if needed, are modified or removed for consistency. With advances in materials and fastener systems, and with the review process of existing information, annual updates of theMMPDS are expected. As such, it is recommended that the latest version of the MMPDS be used."--P. i.
