I think the right move there was to scrap the video. Publishing it knowing about an obvious issue that would both damage the reputation of your product and bring your companies skill into question whilst relying on “understanding” is naive.
Whilst you are correct it is used in other industries, you must remember that the giants of this industry also employ many engineers who have came from alternative backgrounds, including aerospace.
With their infinitely larger budgets and sizeable engineering teams, they have decided that this type of approach is a non-starter. As a small team of three, you should take a step back and ask why, if your method of measuring is common elsewhere, that it has not been done already.
It is probably for good reason.
