Technical challenges

The success of the project will be measured through three technical challenges (TCs), which are illustrated below.

TC1: Large-scale MDAO of the entire vehicle using low-fidelity models 

(1-hour turnaround time)

TC2: Large-scale MDAO of the entire vehicle using mid-fidelity models 

(10-hour turnaround time)

TC3: Design cycle incorporating subsystem-level high-fidelity MDAO 

(5-day turnaround time)
