Abstract

The current challenges of the aviation industry call for the development of new and revolutionary aircraft concepts. In general, the task of developing new aircraft is risky and an extremely complex task, and aircraft manufacturers seek to control this complexity by adopting an evolutionary approach. Introducing new ways of controlling this complexity has the potential benefit of reducing the risk associated with aircraft development and enabling the development of revolutionary aircraft. One such new way is based on the application of agile principles. This paper discusses the application of agile principles on aircraft development processes to eliminate to a certain degree the involved complexity of conventional aircraft development processes.
