A Technique for Selecting Emerging Technologies for a Fleet of Commercial Aircraft to Maximize R&D Investment
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-09)
A solid business case is highly dependent upon a strategic technology research and development plan in the early phases of product design. The embodiment of a strategic technology development plan is the identification and ...
Use of Flight Simulation in Early Design: Formulation and Application of the Virtual Testing and Evaluation Method
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-10)
In current design practices, safety, operational and han-dling criteria are often overlooked until late design stages due to the difficulty in capturing such criteria early enough in the design cycle and in the presence ...
Probabilistic Assessment of Handling Qualities Constraints in Aircraft Preliminary Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-01)
A method is introduced and demonstrated which uses parametric stability derivative data (in the form of regression equations) and probabilistic analysis techniques to evaluate the impact of uncertainty on the handling ...
An Approach for the Intelligent Assessment of Future Technology Portfolios
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-01)
A solid business case is highly dependent upon a strategic and intelligent technology research and development plan, or portfolio, in the early phases of product design. The embodiment of a strategic technology development ...
Methodology for Assessing Survivability Tradeoffs in the Preliminary Design Process
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-10)
Aircraft survivability is a key metric that contributes to the overall system effectiveness of military aircraft as well as to a lower life cycle cost. The aircraft designer, thus, must have a complete and thorough ...
A Probabilistic Approach to UCAV Engine Sizing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-07)
This paper describes a probabilistic approach to aircraft engine thrust sizing which is intended to assist the designer in making decisions during the very early stages of the design process when the operational concept ...
Simultaneous Assessment of Requirements and Technologies in Rotorcraft Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-05)
Recent emphasis in the design and acquisition of complex systems has focused on the requirements that drive the design process. Most fundamental to the rotorcraft designer is the effect that requirements have on the system ...
A Stochastic Approach to Designing Affordable, Environmentally Acceptable Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-01)
The focus of the work being conducted under this grant is to create a virtual stochastic l environment that will enable designers to make decisions in the presence of uncertainty while considering all aspects relevant to ...
Assessing the Impact of Mission Requirements, Vehicle Attributes, Technologies and Uncertainty in Rotorcraft System Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-06)
This research provides a probabilistic design environment for the propagation of design uncertainty to the system level to assist in making more educated decisions in the early stages of design. This design uncertainty is ...
Technology Identification, Evaluation, and Selection for Commercial Transport Aircraft
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-05)
This paper outlines a comprehensive, structured, and robust methodology for decision making in the early phases of aircraft design. The proposed approach is referred to as the Technology Identification, Evaluation, and ...
