Discussion

Consider the following statements about unconventional configurations:

1. Historical regressions offer little guidance for them.

2. Physics-based estimation carries greater uncertainty than regression for conventional types.

3. Technical merit alone is sufficient to secure investment.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are correct and together describe the real difficulty of unconventional work: the statistical shortcut is unavailable, and the physics-based estimate that replaces it is less certain than a regression would have been for a conventional aircraft. Statement 3 is wrong. Investment follows commercial and risk judgements as much as technical merit, and many technically sound unconventional configurations have never been funded.
