Introduction

Modern survivable military aircraft

• 3 to 5 times heat load of legacy aircraft

• Limited ability to reject heat to environment

• Increasing secondary power demands

– On demand peak power for flight controls

– On demand peak power for engine thrust actuation devices

• INCREASED COMPLEXITY (controls, # components, integration, power density, power transfer, …)

Challenges

• Modern / future aircraft are designed for optimal

subsystem mass & volume

– Limited range & endurance

– Vehicle operations impact due to thermal limitations

– Power compatibility issues for actuation & sensors

• Vehicle level system assessment and optimization

requires complex highly integrated models at a

Vehicle System level to design & verify

– Conventional ―cut & try‖ approach can add significant costs

and delays

– System-level hardware ground and flight demonstrations

are required to validate integrated modeling approaches

Energy Optimized Aircraft

(EOA)

• Must account for ―entire‖ energy

picture

• Multi-role military aircraft must have

flexibility to support emerging

capabilities– Trade between energy consumption and

flexibility (minimum complexity)

– Must provide provisions for growth by

establishing near-, mid-, and far-term

aircraft-level goals

Cleared for Public Release , USAF AFRL/RZ, RZ09-0609, 8 Dec 09

Definition EOA: an aircraft that is optimized for broad capabilities

while maximizing energy utilization (aircraft and ground support)

with the minimum complexity system architecture.

• Modern MEA architectures have drastically altered the dynamics of power flow on the electrical bus

• Peak-to-average power ratios may exceed 5-to-1 across 50 – 5000 ms

• Power electronic loads may produce regenerative power equal to peak power for durations of 20 – 200 ms

• Key loads with highly dynamic power requirements include radar and actuators

―Mission‖ = 5 points

2007—after SAB Thermal Summer Study

• Only a few pre-defined missions are specified in requirements documents; used to design vehicle and all subsystems

• ―Design Point‖ and a few ―Off-Design Points‖ describe entire mission ( time-independent analysis)

• No impact on design/development/acquisition process—No cost or timeline reduction

Conceptual Design Preliminary Design Detailed Design T&E Acquire/Sustain

2010—March Status

• ―Fly‖ arbitrary missions—ENABLES virtual or real pilot-in-loop

• Entire mission is continuous in time, time-dialing: hours/minutes/seconds/sub-second for vehicle & all subsystems

2007—after SAB Thermal Summer Study

• Coordination not collaboration - models integrated in one place

• Design iteration takes weeks - poor computational methods & speed

• Extremely Limited Connectivity

• Travel, telecon, e-mail, database/file sharing, proprietary data ―hiding‖

• Component, subsystem suppliers and integrator react to req‘t changes

• Component and subsystem design-point-optimization

• No hardware-in-loop testing

2010—March Status

• Collaborative MS&A with 100's of compliant component/subsystem models

• Design iteration in days—advanced fast computation & simulation

• Still limited connectivity, but less data restrictions

• Integrated co-simulation using COTS and custom MS&A tools

• Component, subsystem suppliers & integrator—interactive analysis

• Multi-disciplinary optimization of integrated, controlled dynamic

subsystems/systems

• Initial hardware-in-loop

Summary

We are entering an exciting new era for the science and integration

of energy, power, and thermal components and systems

• New areas of science and engineering will need cultivating

– The ―Science-of-Integration‖ now has a broader implication

– Power and thermal component and system development will require fundamental

research emphasis (e.g. non-equilibrium physics & theoretical and experimental

thermodynamics)

– M&S development will require fundamental research emphasis (e.g. complex

system M&S, new approaches to V&V, advances in MDO/MDA)

– A clear vision and purpose within academia, industry, and DOD with sufficient

resources
