Abstract

The design of an aircraft engine involves careful application of quantitative analysis and qualitative evaluation to determine a suitable configuration for meeting functional constraints. In the traditional approach this implies a tedious manual process must be performed. In addition, the depth of experience of the practitioner plays a large role in the qualitative evaluation which may lead to inconsistent results. In this study, the Engineous Design Shell is utilized to automate the tedious nature of the manual process and to capture the qualitative knowledge necessary to produce consistently optimal results.
