“…Similarly, ONERA explored the concept in the ALBATROS research project [12], DLR investigated it in the FrEACs project [13], and European-funded projects, such as U-HARWARD [14] and RHEA [15], conducted various multidisciplinary analysis and concluded that the SBW can significantly reduce the operational empty weight with respect to conventional wing-tube aircraft. Furthermore, the AGILE project [16][17][18] included more detailed structural design studies, introducing aeroelastic tailoring to further reduce the structural weight. Now, the Hybrid Electric Regional Wing Integration Novel Green Technologies (HERWINGT) [19,20] project in Clean Aviation is considering the SBW design to address the challenging objectives the industry is facing.…”

This paper presents a certification-driven design process for an Unmanned Medium-Altitude-Long-Endurance (UAV MALE) air vehicle, including on-board system design and placements, electro-magnetic compatibility analysis, and thermal risk assessments. In literature, the preliminary aircraft design phase is mainly driven by mission performances and structural integrity aspects. However, the inclusion of other disciplines, like on-board system design or electro-magnetic compatibility, or thermal analysis, can lead to more efficient and costeffective solutions and becomes paramount for non-conventional configurations like unmanned vehicles or highly electrified platforms. In the EC-funded AGILE 4.0 project (2019-2022), the traditional scope of the preliminary aircraft design is extended by including domains that are usually considered only in later design phases, such as certification, production and maintenance. In this paper, the AGILE 4.0 design environment supports the definition and execution of a certification-driven design process of a UAV MALE configuration, using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.

“…These initiatives clearly allowed opening the gates towards the research and application of these methodologies and processes with the aim of achieving interoperability. In fact, many publications were found that made extensive use of the available tools, and it was noticed that their application focused mainly on the design [22,23] and optimisation [24][25][26] of specific structures or systems of the aircraft. In some cases, the main focus was the preliminary sizing through specifically made tools, such as UNICADO [27].…”

In recent years, the methodology of Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) has become relevant to the design of complex products, especially when safety critical systems need to be addressed. It allows, in fact, the deployment of product development directly through some digital models, allowing an effective traceability of requirements, being allocated upon the system functions, components, and parts. This approach enhances the designer capabilities in controlling the product development, manufacturing and after-market services. However, the application of such a methodology requires overcoming several technological barriers, especially in terms of models integration. The interoperability and management of several models—developed within different software to cover multiple levels of detail across several technical disciplines—is still very difficult, despite the level of maturation achieved by Systems Engineering. This paper describes a possible approach to provide such a connection between tools to allow a complete multi-disciplinary and heterogeneous simulation to analyse complex systems, such as safety-critical ones, which are typical of aerospace applications. Such an application is within a defined industrial context, placing particular attention on the compatibility of the approach with the legacy processes and tools.
