Abstract:

To address the potential differences in applicability and incomplete coverage of design features for hydrogen energy powered aircraft in existing civil aircraft airworthiness regulations, a fundamental analysis of airworthiness for hydrogen powered aircraft is conducted.Firstly, based on the airworthiness regulations for normal civil aviation aircraft, a model-based system engineering (MBSE) method was used to construct an automated analysis framework for airworthiness clauses using system modeling language. Secondly, based on the given airworthiness clause applicability analysis criteria and process, architecture analysis and airworthiness requirement comparison were conducted for three different types of hydrogen energy aircraft. The research results indicate that the MBSE method can not only provide effective decision support for the design and airworthiness certification of hydrogen powered aircraft, but also improve certification efficiency. The proposed method can balance priority, consistency, and correctness, ensuring accurate and reliable applicability judgments and avoiding errors in empirical judgments.

Key words: hydrogen energy power, airworthiness regulation model, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), physical-functional mapping, automated analysis
