game Objectives

Test your skills by solving a simple airplane design problem
Demonstrate the challenges of meeting customer requirements
Understand the limitations of a typical design strategy
Realise the cost and time implications without using set-based design (and the impact on ROI!)
Appreciate the need for a better way

In teams of 2-4 players, you must:

Design a profitable plane that meets 5 customer requirements and associated technical requirements (provided below)
Divide and build the four parts: body, wings, tail and cockpit, each with their own Lego bricks (& colours)
Work as a team, with 1 design lead to manage the Lego (online builder), and everyone responsible for a part
Once you have a solution you are confident in, present it to the ‘Customer’ for testing

Points on body: pb = no. of points on the body

Points on wing: pw = no. of points on one wing piece

Points on tail: pt = no. of points on one tail piece

Number of Passengers: P = number of points on body * 3

Weight of airplane: wa = total no. of points (pb + pwtc) * 100

Weight of passengers: wp = P * 60 (assuming 60kg/passenger)

Total weight: (W) = weight of airplane (wa) + weight of passengers (wp)
