The 'Find Resources' menu option is one of the most powerful features in Vertipedia. A user can construct simple, or complex, searches of all VFS resources and many high quality external resources (e.g. NASA documents, US patents). The VFS resources covered include Forum Proceedings, Vertiflite articles, VFS web pages and Journal articles.
The search algorithm used is quite sophisticated and will return many results close to the requested search.
