Cross & Cockade International (CCI) is the definitive
First World War Aviation Historical Society. A registered UK based
charity, all trustees and officers of the society and contributors
to the journal give their services voluntarily.
Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms,
names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that
populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed
wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.
"It speaks to a higher level of concern that many of us
in the United States have about what is the strategic intent of the

making with respect to its military capability in the future. That
test is a great example of creating a question that hasn't been
answered yet."

US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Over 10 months after China successfully
tested an anti-satellite missile, US leaders remain concerned as
the purpose of the test has yet to be explained to the
international community.
