The overall aircraft design process has four stages: Pre conceptual design stage Preliminary sizing Conceptual design and analysis stage Applied airworthiness stage
Aircraft design is a branch of engineering design. It's primarily an analytical process that often involves drawing and drafting.
Aircraft Designers must consider many elements, including: Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Performance, Structural systems, Control systems, Shape of the aircraft's fuselage, Wing location, Engine size.
Here are some other steps in the aircraft design process: Preliminary design: Estimates the engine power/thrust and wing loadings Conceptual design: Prepares a rough design based on certain requirements Computer-aided design (CAD): Creates drawings, prepares reports of assembly and part drawings, and prepares bill of materials
