A survey of the contents of various Requirements and Definition Documents both within Rolls‐Royce and in the literature revealed a large variety of structures and contents. Many requirements documents do not distinguish in their structure between functional and the various non‐functional requirements but mix these up within the content of the requirements structure. The authors have proposed a generic rationalized structure for capturing and recording requirements, and have illustrated this with gas turbine engine examples. The authors have also proposed a parallel structure for Definition Documents, where there is even more variation in content in the literature examples, and have illustrated this again with gas turbine engine examples.
