Abstract

En 中文
This article studies a new, fully digital approach towards General Aviation (GA) aircraft certification. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques will be used to develop a Digital Certification Pipeline (DCP) to support both conventional and innovative, unconventional aircraft configurations to be certified under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification Specifications CS-23, including electric/hybrid propulsion systems (EHPS) and distributed propulsion (DP) configurations. The DCP will produce all the EASA-required certification artifacts, transitioning from the past document-based paradigm to a more effective, less error-prone, digital certification process. All certification artefacts will be centrally managed, with only minor corrections needed before the final submission to the Certification Agency. The DCP will represent an easy-to-use, effective tool to reduce certification time and costs, enabling aircraft manufacturers to introduce new aircraft models with high safety standards for the future of the GA market. Future developments are discussed at the end of the article, evaluating the possible extension of the paradigm used to CS-25.
