Aircraft Design: How do you build a plane?
The essential question I’m attempting to tackle with my research is “how do you design an Aircraft?” My research involved understanding the fundamental forces enacting on aircraft, the specific parts of an aircraft and how they impact its performance, the design process, and how industry plays a role in aircraft design. Understanding not only the specifics of how an aircraft works, but also the general design process as a whole, allowed me to detect a pattern in the design process of specific aircraft which then led me to an answer for my essential question.
