View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2022-3932.vid The use of electrified on-board systems is increasingly more required to reduce aircraft complexity, polluting emissions, and its life cycle cost. However, the all-electric configurations are still uncommon in civil aviation context their certifiability has yet be proven some segments. aim present paper define a multidisciplinary design problem which includes disciplines pertaining certification domain. In particular, study...
In the last decades, electromechanical actuators started to be introduced in transport aircraft for primary and secondary flight control surfaces. Some innovative architectures have been proposed literature use these high-lift devices (flaps slats). The state-of-the-art architecture is built with a central mechanical shaft powered by power distribution unit connected ballscrew that actuate flap slat New concepts potential improve architectures. However, there lack of quantitative results...

In family design, trade-off is made between aircraft performance, reducing fuel burn, and commonality, manufacturing costs. The designed using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods developed in AGILE 4.0 project. EC-funded project extends scope preliminary process to also include systems engineering phases new domains like manufacturing,...

Two different activities are accounted for selecting best solution: re-engining operation that allows to substitute conventional power-plant platform with advanced geared turbofan an on-board-systems architecture modernization, considering levels of...
Abstract On-board systems represent an important part of aircraft having a noticeable impact on mass and fuel consumption, among others. New innovative might increase the performance new generation aircraft. Aircraft on-board system architectures are defined by different subsystems, components connections them. The big amount possible combinations usually creates huge architectural design space that requires automation in order to be properly explored. Certification aspects can used as...
Flight control surfaces guarantee a safe and precise of the aircraft. As result, hinge moments are generated. These need to be estimated in order properly size aircraft actuators. Control include ailerons, rudder, elevator, flaps, slats, spoilers, they moved by electric or hydraulic Actuator sizing is key when comparing different flight system architectures. This fact becomes even more important developing more-electric Hinge so that actuators can sized their effects on overall design...
One method an OEM can apply to reduce development and manufacturing costs is family concept design: each product member designed for a different design point, but significant amount of components shared among the members. In this case, trade-off exists between performance commonality. complex systems, often many architectures are possible, space too large explore exhaustively. work, we present application new architecture optimization passenger transport jets, with focus on sizing...
