Considering that cost is the most important aspect of an airframe structure, one would expect it to be among the best defined, most studied and most optimized quantities in a design. This chapter attempts to bring up some of the cost considerations that may affect a design. It serves mainly to alert or sensitize a designer to several issues that affect the cost. These issues, when appropriately accounted for, may lead to a robust design that minimizes the weight and is cost competitive with the alternatives. The emphasis is placed on recurring and nonrecurring costs. There is no single fabrication process that can be applied to all types of parts and result in the lowest recurring and/or nonrecurring costs. A combination of processes is necessary. In many cases, combining two or more processes in fabricating a single part, thus creating a hybrid process appears to be the most efficient approach.
