Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Military aircraft being state aircraft is not under the purview of ICAO. Therefore, each government self-certifies their military aircraft as per their own standard and compliant to controlled airspace performance requirement. As military aircraft does not satisfy ICAO norms, it may be denied access to national/international airspace. Further, there is no unified procedure across the globe for military aircraft certification and operation. This paper discusses the differences in civil and military certification concepts and the airworthiness and certification processes being followed for military aircraft in some of the advanced countries and India.
