In aviation, TBD can also stand for To Be Developed, and it is typically used in technical documents, project planning, and aircraft design programs. This abbreviation signals that a specific feature, system, or procedure has not yet been finalized and remains under design or research. It highlights areas where future engineering work, testing, or regulatory compliance is still required before operational use.

The term is often found in project timelines, prototype documentation, or system specifications, especially in large-scale aviation programs where complex technologies evolve step by step. By marking a component as “to be developed,” manufacturers and aviation authorities communicate transparently about the current stage of work while avoiding premature commitments. This ensures that stakeholders are aware of ongoing development tasks and potential changes before the final approval or certification phase.
