Estimating Fixed and Variable Costs of Airframe Manufacturers

Abstract

This report presents a model for separating annual costs at airframe manufacturing plants into fixed and variable components. The use of the model is to aid defense analysts in estimating the cost to manufacture aircraft systems when the manufacturer has not yet been determined or when proprietary models for the specific firms are not available. The material is unclassified and non-proprietary.
