On aircraft fuel systems: conceptual design and modeling

The biggest and most crucial fluid system in an aircraft is the fuel system. Clearly, future aircraft projects involve the design of fuel system to some extent. In this project design methodologies for aircraft fuel systems are analyzed, with the attempt to shortening the system development time. This is accomplished by way of illustrative examples of how optimization and the utilization of matrix methods, like the morphological matrix, house of quality and the design structure matrix, have been created and implemented at Saab Aerospace in the conceptual design of aircraft fuel systems. The techniques present automation early in the development process and increase familiarity with how top requirements concerning the aircraft level impact low-level engineering parameters for example pipe diameter, pump size, etc. The morphological matrix and the house of quality matrix are quantified, which opens up for use of design optimization and probabilistic design…
