Rawdon, Blaine. Advanced Configuration Design. Mr. Rawdon joined the boeing Company in 1981 as an advanced composites structures designer. Mr. Rawdon is currently the Program Manager for Boeing's Pelican Ultra-Large Transport Aircraft study
ntroduction The cargo world attempts to solve a very complex mission(problem) This presentation outlines the elements of the problem but does not define a specific mission I have been trying to understand this subject for a few years now
Lecture Outline Air Cargo Industry Types of air cargo and air cargo carriers Largest air cargo carriers Demand for Air Cargo Services Drivers of air cargo growth Constraints on growth Recent Trends in Air cargo
TOTAL CARGO MARKET GIANT MARKET CONSISTING OF TRUCKING RAIL SEABORNE AIR CARGO AS THE WORLD GETS SMALLER THE GROSS VOLUME OF FREIGHT HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY
Using architecture Models to Understand Policy Impacts ncreas cost B-TOS Policy increases Swarm of small sats.3 launch probability doing observation Utility for mu of success
Architecture Trade space exploration A process for understanding complex solutions to complex problems Model-based high-level assessment of system capability Ideally, many architectures assessed Avoids optimized point solutions that will not support
System Concept Need (technology Pull Technologies can fulfill need or requirement a Technologies can overcome barriers(imitations, constraints, etc. Opportunity(Technology Push) a Technologies can Create Opportunities
Commercial drivers Globalization trends Longer distances between producers and consumers Emerging markets, e.g. China, South America, Africa Lean manufacturing Focus on to eliminate waste, e.g. JIT Faster response to market demands
Subsystem Hazard Analysis Examine subsystems to determine how their -Normal performance Operational degradation Functional failure -Unintended function Inadvertent function(proper function but at wrong time or in wrong order)
