Open: Aerospace Design Engineers Guide

This Design Guide provides the design engineer with reference data that can be used during the execution of systems analyses, trade studies, and detailed designs. The integrated product development (IPD) concept leverages the multidisciplined teaming environment to create successful products. The IPD team brings sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, and customer service disciplines together, focusing on the value of the product to the customer. Whatever the designer's role in the design process, an understanding of some simple basic systems engineering concepts will ensure more successful application of the information in this Design Guide to create better products.

The Aerospace Design Engineers Guide has been compiled to assist aerospace design engineers during design inception and development. The purpose of this guide is to serve as a general purpose, in-field handbook used by design engineers to perform back-of-the-envelope/rough-order-of-magnitude estimates and calculations for early preliminary and conceptual aerospace design. The guide is not intended to be a comprehensive handbook for producing highly detailed production designs, although some of the design data may be suitable for the designer's objectives. Other specialized handbooks and detailed company handbooks/ manuals and specifications are generally available to the designer to support comprehensive detail and production design efforts.
