CRYSTAL aims to provide CRITICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING INNOVATION and ACCELERATION

Interoperability and traceability across the lifecycle are critical to show success

Interoperability Specification Public Aerospace Use Case Study as Proof of Concept based on

COTS solutions and open standards This example is powered by Airbus, Alenia, IBM, Polito

University, etc. Interoperability Platform

Use Case Objective:•Definition of De-icing System for Regional Turboprop Aircraft, with:

oMinimal Cost, Weight, Power Consumptiono Fulfilling safety constraintso Fulfilling functional needs (i.e. keep Aircraft

components free-of ice)

Engineering Challenges:•Many change requests; how to assess impact?•Different alternative concepts for De-icing:•Efficient collaboration across the disciplines

Demo – Efficient Aircraft Design – A Platform Approach


Engineering management and their team must respond to a regulatory change that impacts an aircraft system modification

Certification Authorities say: Reduce maximum pressure in pipes and equipment. Consequence: Boots de-icing and it’s overpressure safety relief must work at a lower applied pressure“Change That Overpressure Relief Valve!:•It Shall open already at 19 psi (instead of 23 psi)”

EnginePressurized Air

Environment (Atmosphere)

Pressurized Air

Overpressure Relief Valve:

normally closed

Wing

Boots

Boots inflate and break ice

Aircraft De-Icing System (design concept)

If pressure gets too high, relief Valve will open to avoid damage to de-icing system pressurized air relieved to atmosphere

Summary of today’s IBM capability in action

The manager used live analytics to decide to speed up the work. The manager can make faster, better decisions to meet program goals

The work flowed predictably easily to teamThe engineer can collaborate confidently and accurately contribute at speed

The team managed their work towards deliveryThe team can execute more efficiently over more predictable activities & deliveries


SummaryIBM Continuous Engineering solution facilitates:

17

• Lean or Agile co-ordination of work and modifications• More rapid assessment of the impact of change• Optimise system design trade-offs more efficiently• Quicker design change impact on non-functional disciplines

• Requirements validated more quickly• System alternatives optimized more quickly• Faster loop closing on changes to the design and the safety

cases• Earlier selection of parts and engagement of suppliers
