Computer-aided conceptual aircraft design (CACAD) for transport aircraft
, 1996 CACAD is capable to optimise the size, and configurations of turbofab-powered transport aircraft. The synthesis sizes aircraft from the low-capacity short range Fokker F-100 class to the long range medium-capacity Airbus A-340 class. It has an optimisation capability, with the objective function being direct operating cost in which, maintenance costs ...

Survivability considerations during aircraft conceptual design
, 1986 Survivability, capability, maintainability, and reliability will establish the effectiveness of a combat aircraft. Considerations for the "ilities" must take place during the conceptual design phase. Retrofit of survivability enhancement has historically increased weight, drag, and cost, while decreasing capability and performance. Proper application
