When aggressive performance goals for next generation aircraft systems are set, technology
development programs must select the appropriate sub-set of technologies to achieve them …

When introducing new technologies in space products, both the uncertainties regarding
technology feasibility and the way in which the technology affects the product development …

The conceptual design phase is typically characterized by a short duration and relatively
limited resources, yet design decisions are made that have critical implications on program …

Technology forecasting is an essential starting point for conceptual design of any complex
engineering system. In fact, many research projects are focused on developing a small set of …

Designers have always faced the challenge of changing requirements and uncertainty given
the available resources. This challenge is further compounded in early stages of aircraft …
