Formalized conceptual design technology in the aircraft industry

The article is devoted to the general issues of design formalization and practical methods of conceptual project development in civil aircraft industry. The project idea and the sequential implementation of the project concept development stages are considered. Special attention is paid to marketing and justification of the project strategy. The importance of the idea analysis method for the project concept is shown. In the task of the technical system synthesis an approach to the coordination of its elements and a risk analysis of the designed civil aircraft critical characteristics is presented. The process of validation the aircraft project concept under development by means of experimental analogies is described. The presented methodology was developed for the first time as a complete full-cycle technology of civil aircraft conceptual design, the scientific results of which will eliminate the risks of erroneous choice of the technical concept and its inconsistency with the technical specifications.
