Abstract

Evolvable designs allow development costs of future products to be lowered significantly. This work contributes to aircraft conceptual design space exploration by enabling simultaneous combined exploration of both airframe and subsystem evolvability. This is made possible by combining existing subsystems-architecting and design space exploration techniques with novel commonality assessment algorithms. The proposed techniques are demonstrated via a simple single-aisle passenger aircraft evolvability study.
