    The document discusses different types of requirements for aircraft design including economic requirements, regulatory requirements, constraints, specialty requirements related to weight, reliability, and human factors. It also discusses how top-level requirements are derived and allocated to subsystems.

    ECONOMIC REQUIREMENTS

    Economic requirements are either market-driven or specific customer


    requirements. Top-level requirements, such as the range, number of
    passengers, cargo capacity, and operating costs, will be driven by overall
    market factors. Specific customers will require special capabilities, for
    example, relating to interior or avionics design. Requirements can also be
    initiated internally, such as for a design for manufacturing and assembly
    (DFMA) initiative.

    REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
    Regulatory requirements are those imposed by regulatory agencies, such as the
    Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Joint Aviation Agencies (JAA). The FAA
    and JAA set the requirements for the certification of the aircraft (discussed later).
    Many requirements are also set by industry standards and other agencies.
    CONSTRAINTS AND SPECIALTY
    REQUIREMENTS
    WEIGHT
    Weight is one of the most closely watched aircraft requirements. The primary weight for design and
    allocation to subsystems is the manufacturer's empty weight (MEW). The primary weight for sizing
    is the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW). Weight can either be established as a derived sizing
    parameter or as a constraint from airport weight limits. Either way, weight will be allocated to the
    subsystems using the classical SE allocation process.
    RELIABILITY
    Several types of reliability can be applied to aircraft design, but the one with the most visibility is
    dispatch reliability. Dispatch reliability is the probability that the aircraft will leave the gate within 15
    minutes of the scheduled time. Like weight, dispatch reliability can be allocated to all the aircraft
    subsystems. Safety related reliability is treated within the certification process, discussed later.
    HUMAN FACTORS

    Although human factors requirements apply to many aspects of aircraft design, such as passenger comfort
    and maintenance, the area receiving the most attention is flight deck (cockpit) design. The challenge of
    human factors is the development and allocation of verifiable requirements both to humans and to the
    equipment, as described by (Chapanis, 1996). That is, the human is considered part of the system in
    accordance with the aircraft system hierarchy of Figure 1. The human factors requirements for cockpit design
    require the resolution of conflicting requirements: On one hand the cockpit must be designed to avoid
    excessive pilot workload during periods of high stress, such as during landing and during emergency
    situations. On the other hand, the cockpit must be designed to maintain pilot vigilance during periods of low
    activity. Another goal of human factors is to
    Derived and allocated requirements
    As the aircraft is developed from the top-level
    performance requirements and constraints, derived
    requirements at the top and subsystems levels will
    be developed. The number of engines and weight
    are examples. In addition, software requirements, all
    of which are derived, will be developed. Many
    requirements can be allocated to aircraft
    subsystems. These include, but are not limited to,
    weight, non-recurring (development) cost, recurring
    (unit) cost, direct operating cost (DOC), dispatch
    reliability, maximum allowable probability (MAP) of
    failure, internal noise minimize the effects of
    periferalization, that is, the complex psychological
    state which results from a shift in the pilot role from
    direct contact and control of the aircraft to one of
    system monitor, as described by (Satchell, 1993).
