Paper
Abstract
Webster dictionary defines “Plan” as “an intention or decision about what one is going to do”. This paper outlines the prescribed intentions during the acquisition phase of a product lifecycle to achieve the intended vehicle mass properties characteristics that contribute towards the desired vehicle performance within a defined set of operational parameters.
Since the mass properties community uses weight and mass properties terms interchangeably in general reference, the term Mass Properties versus weight is more accurate and appropriate and will be utilized throughout this paper.
