A concurrent three-dimensional value-driven methodology coupling aircraft design, manufacturing and supply chain by leveraging MBSE and MDO technologies

Kurzfassung

The research activity described in this paper is framed within the European project AGILE 4.0. A concurrent three-dimensional approach coupling aircraft design, manufacturing and supply chain is formulated by leveraging MBSE and MDO technologies developed in the project. Starting from the modelling of stakeholders, needs and requirements, going through the system architecting, the MDO process is set-up and automatically executed. In this research activity, the focus in on the technologies, models and MDO preliminary results achieved following the entire MBSE-MDO framework for the three-dimensional approach applied to a specific aircraft component, that is the horizontal tail plane
