Assembly Planning and Manufacturing Path Development: Mar 25-31

Development work expanded from component inspection into detailed assembly planning and early manufacturing-path preparation for the demonstrator airframe.

During this phase, Chenault Aerospace established a formal assembly checklist for the initial build, secured access to an external test venue suitable for capability evaluation, and identified a low-cost CNC fabrication path for carbon fiber frame cutting. These actions directly support the program objective of developing a low-cost aircraft architecture that is also manufacturable at small scale.

The result was a more executable build plan supported by both prototype assembly documentation and an initial path toward repeatable frame production.
