I am researching the weapons and systems that exist in the present day to better understand and extrapolate the jargon that my characters will be using.
I have found many interesting pieces of information related to my story in patent applications however most patents do not detail their inventions sufficiently as industrial blue prints would (probably to make their invention difficult for others to create as well as increase scope of legal claims in their IP portfolios so they can threaten litigation).
What is a good resource for writers looking to review industrial schematics or blue prints?
Specific Context: weapon schematics or aerospace blueprints... the genre I am working within is science fiction so I need a couple detailed weapons and also some airplanes or tanks I'm thinking to get enough detail into this stuff I'm working on.
