The Agile method applied to aircraft design at University of Naples

At University of Naples Federico II (UniNa) the AGILE paradigm has been assumed as guideline to develop new methodologies, tools and software applied to the aircraft design. A heterogeneous team work cooperates to find and develop more reliable methods, updating the older, implements them into state-of-the-art framework and software language, and integrates these new procedures into a cluster of partners in order to perform MDO on innovative aircraft configurations, such as in the AGILE European project context. Methodologies have been well tested and validated for several aircraft configurations and they have been applied into the Design Challenge Level 0 (DC-L0) and Design Challenge Level 1 (DC-L1) of the AGILE project. Results have been useful to set-up the 1st stage of the 3rd MDO framework creation, which is the main goal of the AGILE European project.
