CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
The first design step
Sketching a variety of possible aircraft
configurations that meet the required design
specifications.
Design optimization
Fundamental aspects such as fuselage shape,
wing configuration and location, engine size
and type are all determined at this stage.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Wind tunnel testing and computational fluid
dynamic calculations of the flow field around
the aircraft are done
Major structural and control analysis is also
carried out in this phase
