Aircraft Airframe Cost Estimating Relationships: Attacks Aircraft

Abstract

This Note is part of a series of Notes that derive a set of equations suitable for estimating the acquisition costs of various types of aircraft airframes in the absence of detailed design and manufacturing information. A single set of equations was selected as being the most representative and applicable to the widest range of estimating situations. For attack aircraft, no single acceptable estimating relationship could be identified because sample sizes were small and not homogeneous. Estimates for these aircraft should be developed by analogy or by using the equation set developed for all mission types. Keywords: Airframes, Cost estimates, Procurement, Military aircraft, Attack aircraft, Equations.
