From Requirements to Product: an MBSE Approach for the Digitalization of the Aircraft Design ProcessBruggeman, A.M.R.M. (author), la Rocca, G. (author)During the aircraft conceptual design phase, many different design options need to be explored and compared in a short time frame. To speed up this process, efforts have been made in the past decades to digitalize parts of the design process, with a focus on the automation of the repetitive and non-creative tasks inherent to the iterative design...journal article 2023

(author), Géczi, M. (author), Kempers, M.X. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Generating renewable energy on Mars is technologically challenging. Firstly, because, compared to Earth, key energy resources such as solar and wind are weak as a result of very low atmospheric pressure and low solar irradiation. Secondly, because of the harsh environmental conditions, the required high degree of automation, and the exceptional...journal article 2021
