Abstract
This paper presents a systems concurrent engineering approach for the conception of a Hypersonic Accelerator Vehicle (Veículo Acelerador Hipersônico -VAH) to be used in the flight test campaign of the first Brazilian Aerospace Hypersonic Vehicle named 14-X. The 14-X project objective is to develop a higher efficient satellite launch alternative, using a Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (SCRAMJET) engine for its propulsion. As it is a new technology under development and using systems concurrent engineering approach it is possible to perform stakeholder analysis, requirements analysis, functional analysis and implementation architecture analysis, for product and organization simultaneously. From the analysis, requirements and attributes are captured for the product and its organizations and the relationship among them are identified. Requirements to the early stages were based on anticipation of the needs identified for different life cycle process and then late changes are expected to be avoided, reducing development costs, avoiding delays and risks and increasing satisfaction of stakeholders over product life cycle.
