Competitive aircraft box structures are a perfect compromise between weight and price. The conceptual design process of these structures is a typical Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization effort, normally conducted by human engineers. The iterative nature of MDO turns development into a long and costly process. Knowledge-Based Engineering...

This paper presents the development of a novel computational framework with which expert analysis knowledge can be captured, stored and dynamically retrieved when required to determine the performance of a building design with respect to user-defined requirements. By subdividing the engineer's and designer's knowledge into discrete steps, and...

Van den Berg, T. (author)
An increase in productivity is required for the European aviation industry to remain competitive in a world with rising competition, shorter development timescales, more complex products and decreasing numbers of technically skilled personnel. Fokker Elmo, a Dutch aircraft electrical wiring harness manufacturer, is facing these challenges. At...

document
Vermeulen, B. (author)
The process of design aircraft systems is becoming more and more complex, due to an increasing amount of requirements. Moreover, the knowledge on how to solve these complex design problems becomes less readily available, because of a decrease in availability of intellectual resources and reduced knowledge transfer opportunities. Aerospace...

Cooper, C.A. (author)
The design of complex systems in today’s aerospace domain requires a balance between the ever-increasing complexity of the supporting technology and the drive to develop those systems in a compressed timeframe. The performance knowledge of a preliminary design must shift backwards in the lifecycle in order to exploit that knowledge when there is...

La Rocca, G. (author)
Since the 1960s, the demand for air transportation has doubled every 15 years, resilient to every oil crises and international events. However, the current capability of the air transport management system, the demand of increasingly growing levels of quality, comfort, safety and security, and, above all, an environmental sensitivity as high as...

Schut, E.J. (author)
In order to keep innovating, engineers are working more and more with engineering software, providing them a way to cut away their routine and repetitive activities. Computer aided design and simulation software are for instance considered standard tools in most engineering companies. Today, to solve complex engineering design problems,...

Tian, F.N. (author)
The commercial transport aircraft industry is currently developing new “more electric aircraft” (MEA) designs in which various conventional mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems are replaced with electrically-based power systems. Their objective is to improve the overall flight performance by reducing the aircraft weight and by a...

Zhu, Z. (author)
Harness 3D routing is one of the most challenging steps in the design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS), due to the intrinsic complexity of the EWIS, the increasing number of applying design constraints, and its dependency on the design changes of the airframe and installed systems. The current routing process employed...

Zaccai, D (author), Bertels, F.G.A. (author), Vos, Roelof (author)
A new methodology has been developed that integrates the preliminary wing design with trailing edge high-lift systems and accounts for three-dimensional flap kinematics. The high-lift system in the developed application includes the kinematic synthesis of four common mechanisms (dropped-hinge, four-bar, link-track and hooked-track) and a...

Sadowy-Sadowski, Tomasz (author)
The concept of a spaceplane, a launch system that is a combination of an airplane and a rocket, is one of the most promising concepts of sustainable access to space. Along its trajectory, it experiences most extreme conditions with frequently opposing design requirements, making it one of the most complicated challenges in aerospace engineering....

van der Schaft, Luuk (author)
The Flying V, a concept aircraft configuration, has been proposed by Airbus and TU Berlin. The initial indications of potential improvements in performance over conventional aircraft gave rise to a continuation of the research. For this, the mass characteristics of the configuration must be explored. <br/><br/>A primary structure concept is...

Heimans, Colin (author)
To reduce the environmental impact of aviation, new aircraft configurations are investigated. One of these researches is the PARSIFAL project, that investigates an efficient box-wing aircraft for passenger transport. In previous work, an engine sizing tool is developed to design the engines of the PARSIFAL aircraft. The tool is developed as part...

Van Toor, J.A. (author)
Modern Computer Aided Design/Engineering can assist in the design of highly optimized engineering structures. Such structures allow for a significant reduction on the strain of resources across the product life cycle, where the potential for weight reduction is most beneficial for the aerospace industry. However, their production is currently...
