This commercial aircraft wing surface panel configuration study subjectively assessed practical and producible graphite/epoxy designs. Key experienced engineering, manufacturing, and quality control personnel provided the assessment information, using definitive data as well as their experience and judgement in screening and selection of the final panel configuration. A multilevel screening procedure was used to review the panel designs, considering the following areas: (1) Structural functions; (2) Efficiency; (3) Manufacturing and producibility; (4) Costs; (5) Maintainability; and (6) Inspectability As each progressive screening level was reviewed, more definitive information on the structural efficiency (weight), manufacturing, and inspection procedures was established to support the design selection. The final design selection represents a reasonable compromise between all requirements.
