Your question is Conceptual Aircraft Design Thinking. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain your thought process for conceptually designing an aircraft that needs to be carrier-capable, deliver 10,000 lbs of payload, and cruise supersonically.
Describe how you would clarify mission needs, identify major design requirements, prioritize competing capabilities, and evaluate trade-offs. Address how you would validate the concept without attempting detailed engineering calculations.
