[0002] This section provides background information related to the present application but does not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the increasingly competitive civil aircraft market, customer demands for aircraft are becoming increasingly diverse and personalized. Even within the same airline's fleet of the same model, different aircraft require different cabin layouts and onboard equipment configurations to meet diverse customized functional requirements. Furthermore, civil aircraft development is a highly complex and integrated systems engineering project, requiring lengthy development timelines and encompassing a wide range of specialized expertise. This inevitably generates an enormous amount of aircraft product data (according to statistics, some models contain hundreds of thousands of components). Organizing this product data structure and accurately, completely, and clearly defining aircraft configuration data based on individual customer needs within this complex design data, thus determining the product configuration for each aircraft, presents a significant challenge.

[0004] The current configuration configuration method based on modular design is more aimed at adapting to trial production and verification, and it is still lacking in support for aircraft configuration configuration in the mass production stage. The main problems are as follows: there is a lack of options and option scheme creation environment, and the association between options and modules cannot be truly realized; and the customer-oriented aircraft configuration configuration process in the mass production stage has not been developed, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of rapid customized configuration in the mass production stage.

[0074] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of exemplary embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the following detailed description of the present application is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the same reference numerals are used throughout the various drawings to represent the same components.

[0075] It should also be pointed out that, for the sake of clarity, not all features of an actual specific embodiment are described and shown in the specification and drawings. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary details that obscure the technical solutions focused on by this application, only the arrangement structures closely related to the technical content of this application are described and shown in the specification and drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the technical content of this application and are known to those skilled in the art are omitted.

[0076] In view of the fact that the current modular design-based configuration method suitable for the engineering development stage is difficult to meet the needs of rapid customized configuration in the mass production stage, it is necessary to build an option management environment, realize the association mapping relationship between options and modules, and develop a customer-oriented configuration process. At the same time, it should be implemented with the help of information technology to meet the needs of rapid customized configuration in the mass production stage, improve work efficiency and management level, speed up delivery progress, and enhance customer satisfaction.

[0077] As used in this application, options are items selected and confirmed by the customer during configuration. Specifically, they include Aircraft Type Options (ACI) and Customized Capabilities Options (CCI). Customized Capabilities Options are defined based on the Aircraft Type Option Plan of the Aircraft Type Option and are items that represent specific configuration capabilities, functional equipment, services, and features that constitute the customer's specific aircraft option configuration plan.

[0078] As used in this application, option solutions are specific, valid solutions assigned to each of one or more options, specifically including the Aircraft Option Solution (ACS) corresponding to the Aircraft Model Option and the Customized Function Option Solution (CCS) corresponding to the Customized Function Option. Different Aircraft Model Option Solutions are used to distinguish aircraft of varying designs, sizes, performance, and uses, helping customers quickly identify aircraft types; different Customized Function Option Solutions are specific, valid functional implementation plans for the corresponding Customized Function Options.

[0079] In the aircraft modular design concept applied in this application, engineering development and configuration management are highly decoupled, the two business processes of modular design and module-based configuration management are relatively independent, and design data and sortie effectiveness are separated.

[0080] The module library used in this application is a database including a series of design configuration items (DCI) - design configuration schemes (DCS) - design modules (DM) generated by modular design.

[0081] As used in this application, a design configuration item (DCI) refers to hardware, software, or a collection of these items that fulfill product functionality from a design perspective and are designated as a single entity for configuration management. Designed modules are managed through design configuration items and implemented through modular design.

[0082] The design configuration scheme (DCS) used in this application is a design solution for a design configuration item (DCI). A DCI may include one or more DCSs, where a DCS represents one implementation of the DCI, and multiple DCSs represent multiple implementations.

[0083] As used in this application, a Design Module (DM) is the physical architecture of a design configuration solution, including the complete information of the design solution (component digital models, parts list, drawings, documents, design specifications, etc.). The Design Module is the foundation for the final production organization to achieve a streamlined workflow.

[0084] The option library used in this application is a database that includes all aircraft type options (ACI), aircraft type option schemes (ACS), customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS), the logical relationships and related rules between them, and the mapping relationship between customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS) and design configuration items (DCI)-design configuration schemes (DCS)-design modules (DM).

[0085] The option menu used in this application is customer-oriented and includes a list of all aircraft type options (ACI), aircraft type option schemes (ACS), customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS), their logical relationships and related rules, and is used to implement customer-oriented aircraft configuration based on menu options.

[0087] The customer-specific aircraft configuration table (ACT) used in this application contains a complete list of design configuration items, design configuration solutions, and design modules for an aircraft under modular design, and includes aircraft sortie validity.

[0088] The following is combined with Figure 1-14 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0089] Example 1

[0090] Figure 1 A method S100 for constructing an aircraft option library according to a first aspect of the present application is shown. The method S100 is used to implement customer-oriented aircraft configuration based on menu-based options, and includes the following steps:

[0091] Conduct demand analysis S110, analyzing the sales and operations of existing aircraft models to customers. This includes analyzing and forecasting market trends, determining aircraft positioning and usage, and exploring customer value propositions and operational and maintenance concerns to prioritize aircraft models and series, as well as customized features.

[0092] Defining an aircraft type option (ACI) and one or more aircraft type option schemes (ACS) included in the aircraft type option according to the sorted aircraft models and series S120, wherein different aircraft type option schemes in the aircraft type option schemes are used to distinguish aircraft of different designs, sizes, performances, and uses, so as to help customers quickly identify aircraft types;

[0093] Based on the sorted aircraft model and series, as well as customized function points, a plurality of customized function options (CCIs) and one or more customized function option schemes (CCSs) included in each of the plurality of customized function options are defined for each of the one or more aircraft model option schemes included in the aircraft model option (S130). The customized function options include customer basic items, customer optional items, and customer customized items, and the customized function option schemes are specific and effective functional implementation plans for the corresponding customized function options.

[0094] Defining logical relationships and related rules between the customized function options and between the customized function option solutions S140, wherein the logical relationships and related rules between the customized function options and between the customized function option solutions are used to facilitate the customer to select the customized function options and the customized function option solutions;

[0095] Performing modular design S150 aims to construct a module library, which is a database consisting of a series of design configuration items (DCI) - design configuration schemes (DCS) - design modules (DM) generated by the modular design;

[0096] Associating each of the one or more customized function option solutions included in the customized function option with a design configuration item, a design configuration solution, and a design module ( S160 ), thereby mapping each of the one or more customized function option solutions of the customized function option with the design configuration item, the design configuration solution, and the design module. The mapping relationship between the customized function option solution and the design configuration item, the design configuration solution, and the design module can be used to form a customer-specific aircraft configuration table (ACT).

[0097] Generate an aircraft option library S170. The generated aircraft option library is a database that includes all aircraft type options (ACI), aircraft type option schemes (ACS), customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS), the logical relationships and related rules between them, and the mapping relationship between customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS) and design configuration items (DCI)-design configuration schemes (DCS)-design modules (DM);

[0098] Generate an option menu S180. This option menu is customer-oriented and includes a list of all aircraft type options (ACI), aircraft type option schemes (ACS), customized function options (CCI), customized function option schemes (CCS), their logical relationships, and related rules, for implementing customer-oriented aircraft configuration based on menu-based options.

[0099] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the aircraft model option definition S120 may include an aircraft platform option definition S121 , an aircraft series option definition S122 , and an aircraft usage option definition S123 .

[0100] In the aircraft platform option definition S121 , aircraft platform options available for customer selection are set and one or more aircraft platform option solutions are defined.

[0101] Furthermore, based on the aircraft platform options, an aircraft series option definition S122 is performed to set aircraft series options available for customers to select and define one or more aircraft series option solutions.

[0102] Furthermore, an aircraft usage option definition S123 is performed to set aircraft usage options available for the customer to select and define one or more aircraft usage option solutions.

[0103] like Figure 3As shown, set the aircraft platform options and define aircraft platform option schemes such as transport aircraft platform; based on the aircraft platform options, set the aircraft series options and define aircraft series option schemes such as basic series, shortened series, extended series, etc.; set the aircraft use options and define aircraft use option schemes such as passenger aircraft, cargo aircraft, business jet, fire extinguisher, rainmaking aircraft, etc.

[0104] Alternatively, in some exemplary embodiments, the aircraft model option definition S120 includes one or more of the aircraft platform option definition S121, aircraft series option definition S122, and aircraft usage option definition S123. Figure 4 As shown, the aircraft usage options can be directly defined based on the UAV platform options.

[0105] It is worth noting that the aircraft model option definition S120 in this application is intended to define aircraft of different designs, sizes, performances and uses to help customers quickly identify aircraft types, including but not limited to the above-mentioned definitions by aircraft platform, series and purpose, so other types of sub-activities can also be set.

[0106] According to the present application, customized functional options include basic customer items, optional customer items, and customized customer items. Basic customer items are customized functional options whose functional and physical characteristics remain unchanged or stable, such as the airframe structure and power system. Selecting a specific aircraft model option under the aircraft model option selects the common components of all aircraft within that aircraft type, thus determining the basic customer items within that aircraft model option. Therefore, basic customer items are also mandatory items for a particular aircraft type. Basic customer items generally correspond to one option option. Optional customer items are customized functional options pre-defined by the main manufacturer to meet different customized functional requirements, such as cockpit layout, lavatory, galley, avionics, etc. Optional customer items are divided into mandatory and optional items. Mandatory items are customized functional options that the customer must select from the customized functional option options based on their needs. Optional items are customized functional options that the customer can select from the customized functional option options based on their needs, one or more, or none. Optional customer items generally correspond to one or more optional customer options. Additionally, there may be certain logical relationships between customer options (described in more detail below). Customized options are customer-requested, exceeding the manufacturer's predefined options, requiring the manufacturer to design and manufacture customized features specifically for the customer. These options include adding special equipment or modifying a specific aircraft requirement.

[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, the logical relationship between the option schemes according to the present application includes, but is not limited to, dependency (if A is selected, B must be selected) and mutual exclusion (if A is selected, B cannot be selected).

For example, if a (business class + economy class) mixed layout scheme is selected in the cabin layout option, then the matching option scheme in the cabin passenger oxygen unit option must be selected. The rule of mutual exclusion is, for example, if a customer selects a certain customer option scheme from one customer option item based on his or her own needs, then the specific customer option scheme in another customer option item cannot be selected. For example, if a high-density layout is selected in the cabin layout option, then a hot meal kitchen cannot be selected in the kitchen option.
