    An Aerospace Component Cost Modelling Study for Value Driven Design
    (Cranfield University Press, 2009-04-01) Cheung, J. M. W.; Scanlan, J. P.; Wiseall, S. S.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam Shehab
    Demand is increasing in aero-engine products for better efficiency and environmental performance whilst keeping the cost low. Unlike performance, the physics behind cost is least understood. This paper presents a proposed unit cost modelling methodology applied to a Rolls-Royce aero-engine fan blade. An objective of the cost model is the allow engineers to understand the breakdown of cost. A value driven design concept is outlined and presents an opportunity to conduct design optimisation.
