Abstract:
This paper will discuss a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach that leverages virtual reality, and augmented reality to shape and optimize design for cockpit, cabin, and maintenance interfaces during the initial design development. The Boeing Company is leveraging these new technologies to improve system design, usability, production performance, training, and safety. Use of this method in the design lifecycle ensures compliance with operational requirements, creates an accurate and detailed maintenance plan and influences engineering to optimize usability and deliver a maintainable product. This technique allows engineers to identify non-compliances promptly in the design process and iterate the design in real-time with user participation to satisfy the customer and operator requirements. This improves initial quality, eliminates production rework and prevents downstream program costs and delays by revealing design deficiencies earlier than previously achievable
