This paper presents the Aircraft Wing Manufacturing Decision-Making (AWMDM) framework, developed within the IFAR-X Challenge 2025 on Green Aviation, to support early-stage trade-off analyses between aircraft performance and manufacturing costs. The framework accounts for manufacturing- and assembly-induced geometric deviations and their impact on aerodynamic efficiency and fuel consumption.
