Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Design and prototype aircraft sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Design and prototype aircraft inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: Approval of an aircraft concept and allocation of research and development resources kick off the design phase.

  1. Allocate R&D resources and project funding
  2. Draft engineering specifications and regulatory compliance parameters
  3. Develop iterative digital models and engineering designs
  4. Construct physical aircraft prototypes and sub-assemblies
  5. Execute physical, stress, and simulated flight testing
  6. Refine designs based on test data and compliance reviews
  7. Onboard supply-chain stakeholders for production transition

Outcome: A fully tested and compliant aircraft prototype is validated and ready for full-scale manufacturing with an onboarded supply chain.
