Abstract The research and innovation EU funded AGILE project has developed the next generation of aircraft Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization (MDO) processes, which target significant reductions in aircraft development costs and time to market, leading to more cost-effective and greener aircraft solutions. 19 industry, research and academia partners from Europe, Canada and Russia have developed solutions to cope with the challenges of collaborative design and optimization of complex aeronautical products. In order to accelerate the deployment of large-scale, collaborative multidisciplinary design and optimization, a novel approach, the so-called “AGILE Paradigm”, has been conceived. The AGILE Paradigm is defined as a “blueprint for MDO”, accelerating the deployment and the operations of collaborative “MDO systems” and enabling the development of complex products practiced by multi-site and cross-organizational design teams, having heterogeneous expertise. A set of technologies has been developed by the AGILE consortium to enable the implementation of the AGILE Paradigm principles, thus delivering not only an abstract formalization of the approach, but also an applicable framework. The collection of all the technologies constitutes the so-called “AGILE Framework”, which has been applied for the design and the optimization of multiple aircraft configurations. The ambition of the AGILE Paradigm was set to reduce the lead time of 40% with respect to the current state-of-the-art. This work reviews the evolution of the MDO systems, underlines the open challenges tackled by the AGILE project, and introduces the main architectural concepts behind the AGILE Paradigm. Thereafter, an overview of the application design cases is presented, focusing of the main challenges and achievements. The AGILE technologies enabled the consortium to formulate and to solve in 15 months 7 MDO applications in parallel for the development of 7 novel aircraft configurations, demonstrating time savings beyond the 40% goal.

敏捷范式：用于航空系统开发的下一代协作 MDO

摘要 欧盟资助的研究和创新 AGILE 项目开发了下一代飞机多学科设计和优化 (MDO) 流程，旨在显着降低飞机开发成本和上市时间，从而提供更具成本效益和更环保的飞机解决方案。来自欧洲、加拿大和俄罗斯的 19 个工业、研究和学术界合作伙伴开发了解决方案，以应对复杂航空产品的协同设计和优化挑战。为了加速大规模、协作的多学科设计和优化的部署，构思了一种新方法，即所谓的“AGILE 范式”。敏捷范式被定义为“MDO 蓝图”，加速协作“MDO 系统”的部署和运营，并支持多站点和跨组织设计团队开发复杂产品，并拥有异构专业知识。AGILE 联盟开发了一套技术来实现 AGILE 范式原则，从而不仅提供方法的抽象形式化，而且提供适用的框架。所有技术的集合构成了所谓的“AGILE 框架”，该框架已应用于多种飞机配置的设计和优化。AGILE Paradigm 的目标是将当前最先进技术的交付时间缩短 40%。这项工作回顾了 MDO 系统的演变，强调了 AGILE 项目解决的开放性挑战，并介绍了 AGILE 范式背后的主要架构概念。此后，概述了应用程序设计案例，重点介绍了主要挑战和成就。AGILE 技术使该联盟能够在 15 个月内制定并解决 7 个并行的 MDO 应用程序，以开发 7 种新型飞机配置，证明节省的时间超过了 40% 的目标。
