AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION ANALYSIS USING A LOW-FIDELITY, PHYSICS BASED AEROSPACE FRAMEWORK UNDER UNCERTAINTY CONSIDERATIONS

Kurzfassung

During the early stages of aircraft design, limited information is available to conduct decisions that base on the quality of aircraft configurations. In the present study, information on physical and statistical models is supplemented by the uncertainty that is inherent to the applied analysis modules and propagated through the complete design workflow. Using this method, the possibility arises to make a statement on the level of certainty with which one concept is preferred above another.
