Where is S1000D Used

S1000D has been heavily used for quite some time to support aviation documentation in the European defense community.

Over the past several years, the S1000D standard has been gaining momentum around the globe - from North America to Australia.  Both the civil aviation industry and North American defense organizations have started adopting S1000D,  extending its use to support Land, Sea and Air systems.

S1000D is used not only for aircraft technical documentation, but for land vehicles and equipment, as well as shipboard systems and other sea-based systems. You will also find S1000D being used to produce documentation in support of new commercial aircraft, including the Boeing 787 and Airbus 350.
