Been playing a little while now, so more looking for strategic thinking from others on your rate of aircraft development.
Specifically, have you found it more viable or efficient to frequently request new aircraft models or choose to wait for the manufacturers to produce the next improved model in the series (B,C,D and so on)?
If the better/more efficient route is to cycle new designs, what pace to you usually request them and does that pace adjust as the technology gets more advanced?
Thanks in advance!

I can't speak for RTW3 yet as my play has been largely pre-aircraft, but in RTW2 I only requested models when my existing ones were largely failing in a certain area. Honestly, my primary concern was usually reliability, because I find you can lose a lot of aircraft to purely mechanical failure.

I always try to have a request going, mainly for the same reason as above - it gives me more shots at planes with good stats plus good reliability.

Same here, if I do not forget to look after the stats (the new reminder message after two years without a new inquiry is very helpful).
Best case is in my experience if you get a good plane and then the manufacturer gives you 2 - 3 improved versions. Sometimes the planes got so good that I could keep them for many years.

If a nation has a large aeronautical industry it should be able to develop several types of aircraft at the same time. The development of one type at a time by, say, the USA in the 1940s seemed to me one of RTW2's minor flaws.

Yeah, in 2 I once had my first fighter aircraft from 1923 soldier on to a D variant that in 1935 was still the fastest in the world. Considering the lead time needed to get a new plane into service, I felt it worthwhile to always have one in development.

As far as I can tell there's no cost to requests, so I keep one going at all times with the goal of having every aircraft type be good reliability.
