The proposed research program will develop a methodology and associated mathematical models to perform effective aircraft systems architecting as an integrated part of the aircraft design process, pivotal to the development of environmentally friendly air vehicles. Background The aerospace industry has ambitious targets to contribute in the fight against climate change. To achieve this goal, novel aircraft configurations, hybrid-electric or all-electric air vehicles seem promising. However, the evaluation of the feasibility of these concepts is complex, requiring to the development of novel design and prediction methods. Within, the development of associated system architectures is essential. The system architecture (consisting of hydraulic, electric and pneumatic power systems, flight control systems, avionics systems, environmental control systems, and many more) impacts significantly the weight, vehicle shape, reliability, cost and emissions of air vehicles. For aircraft with a hybrid-electric or all-electric propulsion system, the system architecture needs to change to a more-electrical architecture, leading to system integration challenges in terms of architecture, space requirements and thermal aspects. Today, there is a gap regarding methodologies for conceptual design of aircraft systems suitable to tackle complex integration challenges of novel aircraft configurations. Advanced research is necessary. Scientific approach The research program is structured in two long term research objectives (RO): RO1 will develop novel methodologies for: (1) system architecture definition and management of design space alternatives, (2) analysis of uncertainty propagation and scenarios, (3) system architecture feasibility analysis for safety requirements. These methodologies will be integrated with a parametric conceptual sizing framework for vehicle-level system architecture evaluation and integration. RO2 will develop a library of a conceptual estimation models and technologies for novel aircraft system architectures evaluation and integration for weight, power demand, size and reliability. A bottom-up approach will be used, performing simplification while establishing physical scalability on component and system level. Significance This proposed research innovates in the field of conceptual aircraft design. New mathematical models will contribute to technological advancement in aircraft conceptual design. The HQP gap in the field of aircraft systems design in Canada will be reduced. Aircraft manufacturers, engine manufacturer, system developers or research institutions will be able to perform analysis of unconventional configurations considering the important aspect of system integration. Therefore, the conceptual design framework is crucial to mature faster more environmentally friendly air vehicle of concepts, enabling sustainable mobility, and to increase the competitiveness of the Canadian aerospace industry.

拟议的研究计划将开发一种方法和相关的数学模型，以执行有效的飞机系统架构，作为飞机设计过程的一个组成部分，这对环保飞行器的开发至关重要。 背景 航空航天业有雄心勃勃的目标，可以为这场斗争做出贡献。为了实现这一目标，新型飞机配置、混合动力或全电动飞行器似乎很有前景，但是，对这些概念的可行性评估很复杂，需要开发新颖的设计和预测方法。 ，相关系统架构的开发至关重要。系统架构（由液压、电动和气动系统、飞行控制系统、航空电子系统、环境控制系统等组成）对混合动力飞机的重量、车辆形状、可靠性、成本和排放产生显着影响。 -电动或全电动推进系统，系统架构需要转变为更加电气化的架构，从而导致架构、空间要求和热方面的系统集成挑战。如今，概念设计方法存在差距。飞机系统应对复杂的集成先进的研究是必要的。研究计划有两个长期研究目标 (RO)：RO1 将开发新的方法：(1) 系统架构定义和设计空间替代方案的管理，(2) ）不确定性传播和场景分析，（3）安全要求的系统架构可行性分析。这些方法将与车辆级系统架构评估和集成的参数概念规模框架相结合，RO2 将开发概念估计模型库。新型飞机和技术将使用自下而上的方法评估和集成重量、功率需求、尺寸和可靠性，同时在组件和系统级别上建立物理可扩展性。 意义 这项研究在概念飞机设计领域进行了创新。数学模型将有助于飞机概念设计的技术进步，从而缩小加拿大飞机系统设计领域的 HQP 差距。飞机制造商、发动机制造商、系统开发商或研究机构将能够考虑到非常规配置进行分析。重要的因此，概念设计框架对于成熟更快、更环保的飞行器概念、实现可持续机动性以及提高加拿大航空航天业的竞争力至关重要。
