✈️ Create a #digitalthread supporting holistic verification and validation in #nextgeneration air mobility vehicles 🚁 Current #aerospace lifecycle challenges like continuous engineering, certification, distributed / collaborative development, consolidated verification platforms, homologation, and robust operational performance require well-informed decision-making in a comprehensive, reliable, traceable, repeatable, and customizable virtual environment. The tight collaborative ecosystem between integrators and suppliers, and the need for high safety levels require the capability of tracing each decision and its underlying artifacts. This capability becomes a key value for any engineering platform. How can you speed up the Virtual Certification of your #eVTOL with Model-Based Systems Engineering? 💡 Dive deeper into this topic in our blog article by Marcel Gottschall: https://bit.ly/3VlRLPb Clean Aviation #MBSE #urbanairmobility

Simulation offers incredible value in autonomy, helping to build confidence in autonomous AAM systems, ensure their reliability, and validate their safety. By integrating Ansys solutions, AAM companies can adopt a seamless end-to-end workflow using elements like multiphysics simulation, software design, and digital mission engineering

Understanding the Difference: Verification vs. Validation in Engineering Both verification and validation are crucial steps, but they serve distinct purposes. Verification ensures that the product is being built correctly, and according to design specifications. It answers the question, "Are we building the product right?" Validation ensures that the right product is being built, meeting the end-user's needs and requirements. It answers the question, "Are we building the right product?" Both processes work hand-in-hand to deliver reliable and effective solutions. #EngineeringExcellence #VerificationVsValidation #Drone #EngineeringProcess #ProductDevelopment #Innovation #validation #engineering #aerospace #product #iotechworld

Systems Engineering process flow. not necessarily linear useful for Complex Systems development (e.g Software intensive systems, Aircraft , EVs, UAS etc) which can't be done in one shot design

As part of the Siemens suite of modelling tools the MADE Ecosystem takes a Model-based approach to RAMS, helping aerospace organizations with complex systems manage their risk and optimize their maintenance.

Lightweight Materials and Advanced Design: Aircraft manufacturers and landing gear system suppliers are increasingly focusing on lightweight materials such as composites, titanium, and advanced alloys. These materials offer higher strength-to-weight ratios, contributing to fuel efficiency and overall performance improvements. Additionally, advanced design techniques, including additive #manufacturing (#3Dprinting), are being employed to optimize the structural integrity and weight of landing gear components. 2. Electric Actuation Systems: There is a growing shift towards electric actuation systems in aircraft landing gear. Electric actuators offer several advantages over #traditional hydraulic systems, including reduced weight, lower maintenance requirements, and improved reliability. Additionally, electric actuation systems align with the industry's efforts towards more #electricaircraft (MEA), which aim to replace traditional hydraulic and pneumatic systems with electric alternatives for greater efficiency and sustainability. 3. Health Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance: The adoption of health monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions is increasing in the aircraft landing gear systems market. Advanced sensor #technologies, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms enable real-time monitoring of landing gear components' health and performance.

Application of simulation of aviation engine operation at the stage of their development I think you know about the 1:10:100 rule. It shows an increase in the costs of finding and eliminating errors at the design, production, and operation stages.  Thus, to obtain low operating costs for the aircraft and engines in particular, it is necessary to carefully consider the choice of reliability and serviceability indicators. How do we assess the required level of these indicators for given operating conditions? One possible way is to use simulation models. I present my model of operating aircraft engines as part of a group of airplanes or helicopters (see Figure). The model uses information about the number of aircraft, the conditions of their use, and deployment as initial data. The following provides detailed information on the parameters and characteristics of the engines. As well as information about changes in engine performance over time of operation. For example, after 5 years of operation, the ТВО may be significantly greater than at the beginning of operation. This information must be provided. In addition, we add information about the cost of performing all engine maintenance work, which allows you to calculate the cost of its life cycle. As a result of the simulation, in addition to the standard forecasts shown in the figure, it is possible to determine a rational range of engine performance characteristics. This, on the one hand, allows for efficient operation of engines with low operating costs, and on the other hand, rational use of financial resources at the engine design stage.

Do you have a vision for something, yet hem and haw, never getting around to it? Just Start. The moment that happens, the possibility becomes real and it can be something you can manifest, #nolimits. So, once in a while, you get something accomplished. This happened last night, mounting the engine in our plane build. Wait, is Monumetous a word? It is now. While its easy to say, "yeah, you assembled something", its only after years of monday nights, deigning, fabricating, assembling, disassembling, doing things over amd over again. That's why we're really jazzed about this one. Its fun and uses your mind's best faculties, it does. Next p is creating the engine starting system (its not designed for that, another hack), intake, exhaust, engineering and fabricating a cowling, electrical, avionics, assembly and a whole bunch of other things we haven't yet thought about before we put it all together in hangar B3. #Aviation #eaa #tenacity #skillsusa #NextGenOfFM
