IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About us:
XL-Viking was created to make working with Microsoft Excel easier and more efficient. XLViking started as an internal group at Abbott Aerospace Inc. developing Excel tools to
increase productivity, reliability and quality of engineering applications. XL-Viking was
establised as a seperate company in 2014.
Established in 2008, Abbott Aerospace helps people develop new aircraft structure and
systems and make modifications to existing structure and systems. We do all types of
aircraft - Part 23, Part 25, Civil, Military, Prototype, Experimental - and have extensive
experience with composite laminate material selection, process control, manufacture,
design, substantiation and certification.
We have made these spreadheets available through XL-Xiking and have helped in
developing the Xl-Viking add-in.

About the Abott Aerospace Analysis Spreadsheets:

Our in-house structural analysis toolbox is our collection of spreadsheets. The sheets that
we make freely available are a small proportion of the sheets that we have developed for
our own
They
areuse.
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 may these spreadsheets at your own risk. The Author will nor 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 Inc.
If you think that we have used proprietary information inappropriately please let us know.
Abbott Aerospace Inc. and XL-Viking 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 Inc./XL-Viking 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.
