Abstract
The modern aircraft system is an example of complex systems due to the high-level coupled interactions and interdependencies. In aircraft system development process, aircraft system components such as fuel pipes, hydraulic lines, cable harnesses, equipment are arranged as many as they can in a limited bay. This is a typical design trade-off between aircraft weight, performance and cost, which is a challenge in design, manufacturing and service. Traditionally, Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA) tool is used to analyse the risks of adjacent system components in a zone. However, further investigation found ZSA is not applied in all the development processes. The traditional guidelines from SAE ARP4761 is not suitable for current used digital engineering in aircraft industry. This research proposed a novel method by expanding ZSA with Digital Mock-Ups and introducing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to cover different development stages and improve the analysis process. This paper presents the framework and environment to support implementations and concludes with further discussion of an initial case study.
