Design Development Stages
1. Mission Requirement
Defines the operational need, mission environment, payload, speed, range, stealth, cost, and system expectations.
2. Conceptual Design
Compares multiple configurations to identify the most feasible and mission-suitable design concept.
3. Preliminary Design
Refines aerodynamic shape, structures, propulsion, control surfaces, and subsystem integration.
4. Detailed Design
Defines every part, drawing, software logic, tooling plan, and production-ready engineering detail.
