(TU Delft Flight Performance and Propulsion) Vos, Roelof (TU Delft Flight Performance and Propulsion) Date 2019 Abstract Evaluation and assessment of novel technologies for aerospace applications is essential for business strategy and decision making regarding development efforts. However, technology evaluation and assessment are challenging to perform objectively using a structured approach. As a first step towards a more objective and structured approach a graph-based description of engineering systems is described herein. Analyses can be applied to such a description through pattern matching, after which the quantities of interest can be computed by an automated algorithm using a dependency graph. The approach is applied to a simplified aircraft model, to perform a mission analysis and compute fuel burn. It is shown the method successfully computes the required parameter and is easily adapted to analyze an electric aircraft as well.
