Aero Technologies - Affordability Perspective
This plot charts the relative ability of just the Aero technologies to satisfy just the 11 affordability TEOs. It also shows the relative proportion of which set of TEOs the respective technology is satisfying.
Tailless was assessed to have the best potential satisfying the affordability TEOs. Furthermore, Tailless strongly satisfied Structures affordability TEOs, contributed some to Flight Control affordabilty TEOs and Sub-system affordabiltiy TEOs, but did not satisfy a single Aero affordabilty TEO. This can be verified by reviewing the raw data documented in Matrix T.
To properly interpret the impact of these charts recall, that the total of all the 44 technologies scores satisfying just the affordabilty TEOs is almost exactly 50%.. Also recall, the total of all the 44 technologies scores satisfying just performance TEOs is almost exactly 50%.. Thus one can interpret these relative percent scores based on a overall total of 100%.. For example, the Tailless technology’s affordability satisfaction was nearly 2% of the TEOs and we have not yet accounted for Tailless technology's ability to satisfy performance TEOs. Undoubtedly the overall ability of Tailless technology to satisfy the complete set of TEOs will increase when the performance TEOs are examined.
Finally, note that some aero technologies inhibited the satisfaction of affordability TEOs, such as; ‘Expandable Fuel Cell’ and ‘Integrated Internal Carriage’.
