Question

The Configuration layout is revised after optimization and experiences number of iterations before being finalized for Preliminary Design.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question comes from Conceptual Design Process topic in division Design Process Overview of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

Easy explanation: If configuration layout is found to be imperfect during optimization then this layout is revised and this process is iterative. It will go to a number of iteration before it passes through the optimization stage. Once, the optimized design is prepared then it can proceed further.
