1.) Describe the term ‘prototype’ and give reasons why it could be used.

Prototype is a sample of a part or product designed in advance of production. It is used to allow demonstration, evaluation, or testing of the product.

2.) Discuss another industry other than the car industry that would use prototypes.

Another industry other than the car industry the would use prototypes is a plane industry. A plane industry uses prototype because it travels for a long time and is really high. If anything happens to the plane, a lot of passangers would be injured and it would cause more damage as it is a lot bigger than a car.

Provide at least ONE image of a prototype within that industry.
