Master Thesis: Parametric Cost Model aircraft design

What will you be doing? The development of new aircraft types is a large and technically complex operation. The development process takes a long period, and there are many difficult technical trade-offs involved. For each of these trade-offs, there is much engineering judgement involved to make a well-founded choice. An important challenge for the project team, is to design an aircraft that fulfils the customer demands well. These demands cover a range of topics, from technical performance to economic exploitation elements, such as costs and availability. These economic requirements matter for the eventual exploitation of the aircraft.…
