Assessing performance is essential when a new aerospace product is being developed. Drones are considered a noble product with enormous potential for the aviation industry in the upcoming years. In this context, certified drone designing is a complex activity that requires the interaction of various areas of knowledge and that is normally approached in phases ranging from feasibility to production. Therefore, this article proposes the use of agile methodologies for the conceptual design of a drone, considering that several studies have shown the potential of this type of methods for addressing similar challenges, as in the case of software development. Scrum was the agile framework selected for the design of the device and thus better manage product complexity and process disturbances. A proposal for the application of this method, showing the different design stages, is presented in the final section of the paper.
