Mission requirements → Requirements baseline
Configuration. Sizing, trade studies, mass/CG, wing and thrust loading, and the aircraft architecture every later discipline works from.
Aerodynamics. Lift, drag and moment prediction, aerodynamic databases, control studies and compressible-flow CFD.
Performance. Flight envelope, range, endurance, climb, ceiling and propulsion matching across the mission profile.
Stability & control. Static and dynamic stability, neutral point and static margin, control-surface sizing and effectiveness.
Structures. Loads, metallic and composite sizing, FEA, stiffness, modal analysis and weight optimisation.
Propulsion. Engine–airframe integration, inlet/exhaust installation, fuel-system interfaces and installed performance.
Manufacturing. Production-intent design, tooling definition, assembly strategy, drawings and inspection requirements.
Flight test. Ground-test readiness, instrumentation, test cards, flight-data reduction and aerodynamic correlation.
