Aircraft retrofitting is a challenging task involving multiple scenarios and stakeholders. Providing strategy to retrofit an existing platform needs detailed knowledge of aspects, ranging from aircraft performance emissions, development conversion costs the projected operating costs. This paper proposes methodology account for at industrial level, explaining activities related such process. Costs are mainly derived three contributions: costs, equipment acquisition Different packages, as...
Abstract Multidisciplinary collaborative aircraft design is applied to a 90 passengers regional jet retrofit, highlighting the impact on costs and performance. Two retrofitting packages have been considered: re-engining of conventional power-plant platform with advanced geared turbofan on-board-system modernization, considering different level electrification. Starting from reference existing aircraft, process has carefully evaluated capital savings at industrial through developed...
