Research on product classification of civil aircraft

Abstract

Civil aircraft is assembled by various and a large number of parts and components, which requires a clear classification of aircraft products to establish an efficient technology control mechanism throughout the whole lifecycle. The system engineering methodology is adopted to identify the stakeholders of aircraft products. On the basis of analyzing and summarizing the demand of key stakeholders, a source-based civil aircraft product classification so-lution and criteria is proposed, which is suitable to distinguish specified parts from equipment. The unified, stan-dardized and multi-dimensional civil aircraft product classification and definition is realized. The case of a certain type aircraft product classification is verified. The results show that the proposed source-based civil aircraft product classification solution is convenient for engineers to quickly determine product categories in practical work, which can ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of product classification, and provide a basis for civil aircraft product de-sign and technical management, and satisfy the application requirements of civil aircraft projects.
