noads.core.models.fleet.aircraft_design

Design a new aircraft from scratch using GAM.

class noads.core.models.fleet.aircraft_design.AircraftDesign(name, propulsion, mission, power_system, aircraft_tech_params, reference_aircraft)

Bases: AircraftOperation

A prospective aircraft, designed on the fly with the Generic Airplane Model.

The design model sizes the aircraft for its market mission (range, seats) and propulsion architecture (cruise speed and altitude, power system), using the aircraft technology parameters evaluated at the entry-into-service year, which is an optimization variable. Its outputs (energy consumption per ASK, masses, efficiency gain relative to the reference aircraft) feed the fleet operation models, so that a later entry-into-service yields a more efficient but later-deployed aircraft.
