Abstract

With the increasing complexity of systems such as aerospace vehicles, it has become more and more necessary to adopt a global and integrated approach from the early steps and all along the design process. Tightly coupling aerodynamics, propulsion, structure, guidance and navigation, trajectory, etc. but also taking into account environmental and operational constraints as well as manufacturability, reliability, maintainability is a huge challenge.
