FORMULATION AND IMPL EMENTATION OF AN AIRCRAFT – SYSTEM – SUBSYSTEM INTERRELATIONSHIP MODEL FOR TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION

The integration of a new technology at the subsystem level can have impacts on the systemlevel parameters that are difficult to assess. The physical architecture of a commercial aircraft and its subsystems is established in order to develop an object-oriented framework for the evaluation of new subsystem technologies. This framework enables the designers to model the subsystems and their interactions, assemble them and perform design studies in an interactive integrated environment.
