Industrial results from redesign are also presented to verify the opportunity for early concept cost optimization by using Genetic-Causal cost drivers to guide the conceptual design process for structural assemblies. The acquisition cost is considered through the modeling of the recurring unit cost and non-recurring design cost. The operational cost is modeled relative to acquisition cost and fuel burn for predominately metal or composites designs. The main contribution of this study is the application of the Genetic-Causal principle to the modeling of cost, helping to understand how conceptual design parameters impact on cost, and linking that to customer requirements and life cycle cost.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1063293x05060698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,14]],"date-time":"2005-12-14T10:26:05Z","timestamp":1134555965000},"page":"321-330","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Integrating Aircraft Cost Modeling into Conceptual Design"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Curran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Integrated Aircraft Technologies (CEIAT), School\r                        of Aeronautical Engineering Queens University Belfast, BT9 5AG, NI, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Price","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Raghunathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Benard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Crosby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Castagne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Mawhinney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Integrated Aircraft Technologies (CEIAT), School\r                        of Aeronautical Engineering Queens University Belfast, BT9 5AG, NI, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0010-4485(94)90082-5"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Concurrent Engineering Fundamentals","author":"Prasad, B.","year":"1996"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Concurrent Engineering Fundamentals","author":"Prasad, B.","year":"1997"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1063293X0100900408"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"The Mechanical Design Process","author":"Ullman, D.G.","year":"1992"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1017\/S0001924000091867","author":"Kundu, A.K.","year":"2000","journal-title":"The Aeronautical Journal"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0142-694X(98)00024-6"},{"key":"atypb8","unstructured":"Ostwald, P.F.\n                 (1992).
