Pros

Cons

Manufacture new bulkheads that meet structural requirements

• No re-design to the Chassis

• Places pressure onto Aero to improve their layup quality

• Increases timeline for Aero

Design the Chassis assuming there are no bulkheads;

Add the necessary tubes to pass regulations

• Re-design to Chassis which calls for simulation work

• Does not increase Aero timeline

• Can be pushed to next term because tubes can be added as long as there’s no interference with existing assemblies

• We can weld A-plane onto Chassis. We can trim Bulkhead A

• Increases timeline for Chassis

Assess bulkhead properties and add minimum number of tubes

• There might be less simulation work that needs to be done

• Aero has to research non-destructive testing methods on manufactured bulkheads

• Increases both aero and chassis timeline
