Primes¶
- Second-System Effect
- Second, aerospace platform design: a successful first aircraft built under a strict weight budget yields a successor program freed of that budget, into which engineers pour every deferred capability — more range, more payload, more avionics — until the airframe is too heavy to meet its performance targets, failing where the lean predecessor succeeded.
This sourceReports that early Boeing 787s ran 2-3% (up to ~8%) over target weight, with a corresponding range shortfall — a documented case of weight growth missing advertised performance targets.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
