Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for a change in the aircraft development process to cope with the increasing complexity of products and pressure from the market to develop aircraft faster. The key process change is a deviation from the traditionally linear development approach and the inclusion of an out-of-cycle component development phase, where components of an aircraft are developed preemptively, outside of a program development effort. These so-called smart components are then adapted to the specific needs of a program within the more linear cycle. Furthermore, it describes a metamodel for modeling the so-called smart components based on proven MBSE principles and exemplifies this approach with a small case study.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A manifest file describes not only the location of the model, but also the inputs and outputs mapped to parameters and characteristics and a solver that can be used to execute the model.
