Technical Evaluation Report on the Multi-Panel Symposium on Fighter Aircraft Design.

Abstract

This report evaluates the AGARD Multi-Panel Symposium on Fighter Aircraft Design held from 3-6 October 1977. The primary conclusions of the report are that technology is available, in all areas of fighter design, to meet the military requirements for the 80's. However, the cost of using the most advanced technology to meet every conceivable requirement can be exorbitant. Cost-effectiveness is of vital importance. Future operational requirements must be carefully developed and clearly defined so as to ensure the most economical solution. Future fighter aircraft must be designed with sufficient flexibility to meet the changing needs during their service life. Research and development should be directed towards those areas offering the most cost-effective solutions.
