Configuration Optimisation of Next Generation Aircraft (CONGA)

该项目是对开发新的多学科设计和集成过程的需求的响应，以支持未来飞机构型的概念设计和评估。如果设计师能够利用新技术为新的机翼和飞机构型提供强大的产品概念，这种发展是必不可少的。空中客车公司和罗尔斯·罗伊斯公司，以及一些专业的工业和学术技术提供商，在这个项目中联手开发一系列创新能力，以满足未来的产品需求。通过将设计人员和方法开发人员聚集在一起，将有可能展示和评估采用这些增强功能为一系列潜在飞机架构带来的好处，使部署更加有效，并为未来进一步增强能力铺平道路。该项目将于2012年底开始。

This project is a response to the need to develop new multi-disciplinary design and integration processes to support the conceptual design and assessment of future aircraft configurations. Such developments are essential if designers are to be able to deliver robust product concepts for novel wing and aircraft configurations, making use of new technologies. Airbus and Rolls-Royce, together with a number of specialist industrial and academic technology providers, have joined forces within this project to develop a selection of innovative capabilities to meet the future product needs. By bringing together designers and methods developers, it will be possible to demonstrate and evaluate the benefits gained from adoption of these enhanced capabilities for a range of potential aircraft architectures, making deployment more effective and paving the way for even further capability enhancement in the future. The project will begin in late 2012.
