IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About us:

Established in Canada 2008 we relocated to Grand Cayman in 2015. Abbott Aerospace SEZC Ltd. specializes in
helping our partners bring the best aircraft product to market in the shortest time. We help you define your
aircraft and execute your development program.

About the Abbott Aerospace Analysis Spreadsheets:

Our in-house structural analysis toolbox is our collection of spreadsheets, we make these available for free to
anyone who wants to use them. To keep up to date with our latest spreadsheet news and subscibe to our regular
newsletter please click this link.
http://www.abbottaerospace.com/subscribe
The spreadsheets are intended to be used by engineers. They are not protected software packages and can be
changed in every way by the user.

All of our spreadsheets are provided 'as is' with no warranty or guarantee explicitly given or implied. You use
these spreadsheets at your own risk. The Author will not be liable for data loss, damages, loss of profits or any
other kind of loss while using or misusing these spreadsheets
We have made every reasonable effort to remove all errors but some may still exist and all analysis work should
be thoroughly checked. If you do find errors plese notify us at:

spreadsheets@abbottaerospace.com

Proprietary information:

The spreadsheets contain no proprietary information from outside of Abbott Aerospace SEZC Ltd. If you think
that we have used proprietary information inappropriately please let us know.

Abbott Aerospace SEZC Ltd. grants the user the right to use, modify, reproduce and redistribute these
spreadsheets. We just ask that if possible you maintain a credit naming Abbott Aerospace SEZC Ltd. as the source.

Our analysis spreadsheets in general do not use Visual Basic routines and the outcome of the analysis in the
spreadsheets rely solely on native Excel functions. The display of the math in these sheets rely on the XL-Viking
add-in and the spreadsheets will not display correcly if the add-in is not installed.
