Hi, For a single-engine recreational aircraft concept (3–4 seats), the typical market pricing for early-stage aerospace conceptual design—covering airframe configuration, aerodynamic layout, stability considerations, and feasibility-level schematics—is based on standard aerospace consulting rates. This type of work is generally estimated at: • $100–$150 per hour for senior aerospace design work • Approximately 80–140 hours for a complete concept development phase This results in a market-based project value of: $8,000 – $20,000 for Phase 1 (Concept Design Stage) ⸻ For your project we can discuss more details to clarify dimensions of the project to determine cost in first phase, which includes: • High-level aircraft configuration (wing, fuselage, control surfaces layout) • Aerodynamic concept with stability-oriented design logic • Preliminary weight and structural load-path considerations • Concept sketches and feasibility-level schematics This phase is intended to establish a realistic engineering baseline for the aircraft before moving into more detailed CAD development or performance analysis. ⸻ If the concept is approved, Phase 2 can include detailed CAD modeling, structural refinement, and further engineering development. Looking forward to your response.
