AIAA member subscriptions may be purchased only by individual AIAA members for their personal use. Members may purchase subscriptions to a maximum of four of the technical journals published by the Institute:

AIAA Journal
Journal of Aerospace Computing, Information, and Communication (online only)
Journal of Aircraft
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics
Journal of Propulsion and Power
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets
Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer

Each fully paid member subscription includes both the print journal and access to the online journal, including the complete online archive of that particular journal.

Members may not purchase multiple subscriptions to any one title at the member rate. If they wish to purchase duplicate subscriptions, they will be charged the institutional rate. They also may not purchase back volumes of any journals. Under no circumstances may member copies be used by or donated to libraries, nor may they be mailed to a library address. The special rates enjoyed by AIAA members are considered a personal benefit of AIAA membership. Libraries, on the other hand, pay higher rates because their subscriptions serve multiple users. Specific AIAA policies are as follows:

1. The covers of all issues mailed to members contain this statement: “Personal Copy for Individual Use. Library Use Prohibited.” This prohibition has no time limit.
2. When they initially subscribe or renew their subscriptions, members will attest that they will not share their personal journal subscriptions with their libraries. (The purpose of this is simply to reinforce their awareness of the policy.)
3. Members must order their subscriptions (and renewals) directly from AIAA. They may not use subscription agencies for that purpose.

Any member thought to be in violation of these policies will be contacted so that the situation can be resolved.

Questions concerning the above policies may be directed to:
