Component Intake and Inspection: Mar 18-24

With physical components beginning to arrive, Chenault Aerospace entered a component intake and inspection phase for the tactical FPV demonstrator platform.

Engineering attention during this period focused on logging received hardware, confirming part-condition and configuration alignment, and identifying any integration concerns prior to installation. This work is important for maintaining configuration control and reducing avoidable rework during assembly.

Completion of this intake phase improved readiness for build execution by converting procured hardware into a controlled engineering baseline rather than an untracked collection of parts.
