Technology in design policy

A core value of Airbus product policy

Applied when mature,

Proven basic technology for new applications

Tangible benefits

Must be optimum for the whole design

Costs vs risks for all stakeholderse.g. affordability, repairability, supportability

Including consultation with customers and operators
