Conceptual design enabling efficient aircraft platform energy management

Purpose and goal:

- The purpose of this project is to apply already-developed methods and frameworks for how to work in an aircraft design project to enable an efficient and effective energy management platform.

- The already-developed methods and frameworks were created in Paper 1, 2, 3, and now currently Paper 4 for the Licentiate thesis.

- How do we get engineers from operational analysis, aircraft design, subsystem design and component design work together and apply various methods to see if they are ´effective´ to the platform solutions. Expected results and effects: - Expected results include

- what lessons have we learnt from applying various methods on an integrated product team developing an efficient and effective energy management platform.

- recommendations from the lessons learnt when applied on an integrated product team for future aircraft development in the industry. Approach and implementation:

Paper 4 - a framework for taking a top-down and bottom-up approach to thermal energy management design at the aircraft concept stage using low fidelity system modelling and simulation.

Paper 5 - a framework for optimizing the aircraft fuel system as a heat sink and its effect on aircraft-level properties - this work will be done using high-fidelity system modelling and simulation.

Paper 6 - final planned paper of PhD - run workshop applying methods/frameworks from Paper 1-5 on an integrated product team at Saab Aeronautics
