Abstract
This is a management rather than technical type of paper. It solves no problem for
the weight engineer working on a new proposal but does give him some insight on the
process of aircraft evaluation and contractor selection as it has been practiced in
Navy design competitions, and as compared to Air Force Source Selections. The record
of the Navy is defended and a case made that the design competition method is a fair
one and should be continued. The opinions expressed are those of the author, who
recognizes himself as a prejudiced observer, and are not necessarily those of the Navy.
