Question

Multiple Choice

Which option identifies the step that will be taken to modify the design in the following scenario?
An engineer has just completed a design for the Navy of an airplane that can land safely and smoothly on ships at sea. The Navy would now
like to see this vehicle made smaller so that it can land on smaller ships.
The client will use models and prototypes to experiment on new designs
The client will use the information gathered from the original design and modify the vehicle
The client will work with the engineer to create a new vehicle and save on the costs of models.
The engineer will use models and prototypes to experiment on new designs

Answer 1

The correct option is;

The client will use models and prototypes to experiment on new designs

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of scaling down involves the use of the data and information gathered during the design and development of the original designed product

However, whereby the product requested is the original product with a smaller size and the capability to land on smaller ships, due to the nature of the required task of the airplane it will be risky if any design error in relation to the size and intended use of the airplane is not captured in a prototype experiment before the actual smaller airplane intended for smaller ship service is built
