Lecture Title: Applied MBSE Progress of Chinese Commercial Aircraft

Lecture Summary/Abstract:

In the development of high-end and complex civil aircraft product, a series of challenges have been faced for a long time. In recent years, COMAC has carried out a series of explorations and applications around Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering (aMBSE), a methodology that emphasizes a unified authoritative source-of-truth system model as well as a spiral iterative R&D model, using a graphical-based modeling language to improve communication and R&D efficiency, and to simultaneously acquire the system requirements as well as the design decisions to meet the requirements. Simulation of the system model can be used to verify functionality and performance and optimize choices. Therefore, through the application of aMBSE, it can improve the correct understanding and definition of problems, strengthen the accurate definition and delivery of requirements, and improve the access to and control of the whole system, thus realizing the effective management of product lines.
