MDAO models have evolved through the year to incorporating additional disciplines, and beyond. This reflects MDAO's critical role in reducing technical risk, ensuring first-time quality, and supporting Model-Based Engineering.
Learn best practices and lessons-learned from Boeing's development and application of MDAO models.

MDAO models for Conceptual Design have evolved over the years from being first focused on Flight centric lower-order analysis codes (e.g. Geometry, Mass Properties, Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Aero-Performance), to the coupling of additional disciplines (e.g. affordability, structures, subsystems, mission effectiveness) at varying levels of fidelity. This expansion in capability has followed the successful adoption of MDAO as an accepted and now expected part of the normal vehicle design process, and recognition of MDAO as a critical enabler for reducing program technical risk, delivering first-time quality, and Model-Based Engineering.
This presentation will focus on best practices and lessons-learned from both the development of MDAO models and the application of MDAO on programs within Boeing.
Anyone interested in learning or practicing MDAO
