Configuration
Controlled bill of material, software and approved deviations
Modular airframe · In development
Build the production system alongside the vehicle.
Scale depends on controlled parts, testable assemblies, supplier discipline and configuration evidence — not simply repeating a prototype build more often.
The design case
A successful prototype proves a concept, not a production system. Volume introduces supplier variation, test throughput, traceability, tooling and change-control demands.
Aerinos is planning common components and design-for-manufacture choices early so the path to repeatable assembly is visible before customer demand requires it.
Design priorities
Common components
Reuse qualified parts and subassemblies where mission and environment permit.
Assembly definition
Documented build sequence, tooling, acceptance criteria and controlled configuration.
Test at the right level
Catch defects at component and assembly stages instead of relying only on final system test.
Supplier evidence
Traceability and change awareness for parts that affect safety, security or performance.
In the field
What the operating model should feel like.
The intended result is a production record tied to a known configuration and acceptance evidence. Cost and rate claims will remain qualitative until engineering, sourcing and manufacturing data support measured figures.

Modularity depends on controlled, inspectable interfaces and evidence.
Acceptance
Recorded inspection and functional test evidence
Supply chain
Qualified sources and change notification for critical items
Scaling
Capacity added without bypassing release criteria
Development posture
What we can say now.
Program state
Production planning for a pre-production program
Manufacturing
Planned relationships and footprint; no volume-rate claim
Cost
Qualitative affordability intent only
Evidence
Measured cost, yield and rate follow sourcing and pilot builds
This page describes design intent for a pre-production platform. Configuration-specific specifications, cost and performance will follow verified engineering, sourcing and test.

The airframe, interfaces, payload model, field operation and production system have to mature together.
Multi-role airframe
A rugged base aircraft configured to the mission instead of forcing each new mission into a new vehicle program.
→Tool-free payload swapsPayloads designed to change in minutes in the field, without specialist tools, while preserving positive locking and configuration awareness.
→Common interfacesStandard mechanical, power, data and software boundaries intended to reduce one-off integration for each new payload.
→Rugged by designEnvironmental protection, practical materials and mission margins considered from the beginning rather than added after a laboratory prototype.
→Field serviceabilityModular packaging, accessible wear items and guided diagnostics shaped around austere deployment and maintainability.
