Variable stage loading lowers the modelled mass proxy
Search pressurised-air system designs across operating conditions and identify which choices change the tradeoff.
RESULT AND LIMITS
Allowing stage loading to vary produces a lower minimum mass proxy within the reduced model.
These are reduced-model candidates, not manufactured weight savings or completed aerodynamic validation. Detailed engineering checks remain necessary.
