Aircraft Manufacture Project 2Executive SummaryThe increasing demand for air travel across the world is continuing to foster growth of aviation industry and this is not without its challenges. One of the major challenges is environmental impacts of aircraft manufacture and operation. Design process plays a major role in alleviating these impacts. The aim of this report is to investigate the preliminary design stage, detailed design and development stages, and system test, evaluation & validation and optimization processes of an aircraft manufacture project. These processes are very critical in successful implementation of an aircraft manufacture project. The design team together with other stakeholders should cooperate and coordinate to ensure that the processes are undertaken effectively. The report has also identified essential human factors to be considered when designing an aircraft.

Aircraft Manufacture Project 41.IntroductionClimate change has become a major threat to global population because of its impacts on the environment, economy and society[ CITATION Est17 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Lub09 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Mis10 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Rai13 \l 1033 ][ CITATION Wan141 \l 1033 ]. As a result of this,stakeholders in every sector are making efforts to minimize the impacts of this phenomenon. Aviation is one of the forms of transport that are energy intensive and produce a lot of greenhouse gases[ CITATION Tab10 \l 1033 ]. It is estimated that 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions resulting from human activities are contributed by aviation industry[ CITATION ATA17 \l 1033 ] and this is projected to hit 5% by 2050[ CITATION Ban12 \l 1033 ]. As global population and development continue to increase, demand for air transport is also rising rapidly, resulting to a possibility of higher greenhouse gas emissions. This has prompted aircraft manufacturers to develop various practices of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during production and operation of aircrafts. Some of these approaches include: use of renewable energy, use of recycled and recyclable materials, lean manufacturing, use of light and composite materials and nanomaterials, application of advanced technological and energy efficient processes; improve aircraft engine designs, increase fuel efficiency, etc.[ CITATION Bec11 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Lee11 \l 1033 ]. Governments have also developed policies aimed at monitoring and controlling emissions from the aviation industry[ CITATION Cap10 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Sik15 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Zhe17 \l 1033 ]. Irrespective of the approach chosen to minimize emissions in aviation industry, design processes of aircrafts are very critical and largely influences the success or failure of minimizing emissions during manufacturing and operating phases. During design process, the design team comprehensively analyzes various technical and performance parameters of the aircraft
