Avoiding redesign, no matter the cost

7 September 2026

The answer

John Barrett explains to Karen Salmon how, at a recent conference, he came across someone talking about the redesign of a flight system that would cost millions of pounds for a single board.

In the aerospace and defence industries, you have to cater for so much compliance that a redesign can end up costing millions of pounds, so why do it?

At Force Technologies, we can help you with alternatives to redesign. This matters because, as Karen points out, one of the FAA's compliance conditions is that you must be able to prolong the product and it must be repeatable.
