Cost estimating relationships are presented along with their statistical properties for the development phase and production phase for aircraft airframe programs. These relationships were derived for the engineering, tooling, manufacturing, and materials subdivisions of work during each phase. Cost estimating relationships are also presented for development support and flight test operations during the development phase. The purposes of the separation of costs by phase and by subdivision of work are to obtain better discounted dollar comparisons of different aircraft vehicles, to estimate the costs of vehicle programs with limited production requirements, and to evaluate the impact of technology advances affecting different subdivisions of work in different phases of the vehicle program.
