Abstract

This work presents the virtual design activities performed within the Virtual Product House (VPH) start-up project. In this project a multi-disciplinary process for virtual design, manufacturing and testing is developed. The VPH acts as integration plateau where the assessment capabilities of multiple partners from research, industry and certification authority are combined and applied to use cases.

The multi-disciplinary analysis setup enabled the investigation and improvement of aircraft designs and allows the impact assessment of modifications on a existing configurations.

As starting point, three disciplines are considered: aerodynamics, structural and system design. This paper presents results for selected modifications on trailing edge moveable devices of a representative research aircraft, including variations of the applied structural constituent and design, actuation system as well as number of flap tracks.
