The goal of a system approach to vehicle design is to define the technical specifi-cations of each component, in such a way that the vehicle, as a whole, performs its functions according to assigned procedures and objectives.
By technical specifications, we mean a set of physical measurements that define each part, completely without the use of detailed drawings.
The system approach to design allows project, even the most elaborate one, to be carried out by assigning activities to teams working in parallel, each with comprehensible objectives that can be checked autonomously, and finalized to the overall performance of the vehicle. The system approach also allows a project to be developed, using standard components produced by suppliers, these components being developed for the purpose or chosen from a catalogue.
