ACI-OPT: Aircraft Component Installation Optimization

为了实现碳中性的航空业，飞机制造商必须投资于有远见的概念和新技术。同时，为了具有竞争力，它们还需要改进其开发流程，使其更有效率和效力。在此背景下，该项目正在进行研究，以加快未来飞机的开发进程，采用混合动力电力推进和系统等新技术。该项目旨在开发新的设计工具和方法，以便能够以更短和更低成本的方式开发更环保的飞机。特别是，该项目旨在通过自动化和优化飞机系统和部件的放置来改进飞机的概念设计，同时考虑到许多相互竞争的限制。魁北克的产业合作伙伴将能够缩短开发时间，提高竞争力。此外，HQP将在尖端研究环境中接受培训。

To achieve a carbon-neutral aeronautics industry, aircraft manufacturers must invest in visionary concepts and novel technologies. At the same time, to be competitive, they also need to improve their development processes to make them more efficient and effective. In this context, this project is pursuing research to accelerate the development process of future aircraft featuring novel technologies such as hybrid-electric propulsion and systems. This project aims to develop novel design tools and methodologies to enable the development of more environmentally friendly aircraft in a shorter and less costly manner. In particular, this project aims to improve the conceptual design of aircraft by automating and optimizing the placement of aircraft systems and components, considering the many competing constraints. The industrial partners in Quebec will be enabled to shorten their development time and increase their competitiveness. In addition, HQP will be trained in a cutting-edge research environment.
