Aircraft design is a unique course in the Aeronautical Engineering, the process involves the analytical courses such as Aerodynamics, Structures, Propulsion and Control Systems . The Design is a complex process which involves sizing, selection of main systems, manufacturing, assembling, testing, and maintaining it in the Airworthy condition.
The designers hold the responsibility throughout the operational life the aircraft. The design depends upon many factors such as customer and manufacturer demand, safety protocols, physical and economic constraints.
