Now you are an expert on processes in engineering companies.
Typical Flight testing regiment:



One thing you will not see in this process is the what is termed the "phase III" testing. That is not done by the service and is the responsibility of the contractor, in this case, Rolls Royce.

Phase I is concept development and is also performed by the contractor.

In 1939 we see the Phase II testing which is a proof of concept type testing and is performed by the service. We don't see the Phase I or Phase III testing as they are not done by the RAF. Any documentation is the sole property of Rolls Royce.

After Phase III testing, the concept will then come back to the service for Phase IV testing.

consisted of a very thorough evaluation of all the aircraft's operating characteristics . The pilots handbook, or flight manual, was published as a result of the work in this phase. Completion of Phase IV led to introduction of the aircraft in to the using command inventory. However, additional testing to evaluate tactical application and operational utility was conducted by agencies such as the Air Proving Ground Command.
