Innovating Aircraft Repair Processes: The Role of Digitalization in Sustainability
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 7, 8 April 2026.This research explores how digitalization—by storing detailed non‐destructive testing data in structured DICONDE databases and creating a standard data model of the component—innovates aviation maintenance and repair processes. Coupled with a developed state‐based simulation model, it enables data‐driven, sustainable repair strategies that reduce waste,

Optimization in Conceptual Design of a BWB UAV Using an Adaptive Kriging‐Based Surrogate Model
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.An adaptive Kriging‐based framework for Blended Wing Body UAV optimization is presented. The exploitation‐oriented strategy yields a 14.5% range improvement, while sensitivity analysis identifies fuel mass as the dominant parameter for efficient conceptual design. ABSTRACT To improve optimization efficiency in the conceptual design of Blended Wing Body
