Evaluation and trade-off of aircraft variants with FAST-OAD-GA

The thesis aims to study in detail the new functionality added by the author to an Overall Aircraft Design code named FAST-OAD-GA. The developed feature consists in allowing the user-friendly comparison between general aviation aircrafts that derive from a baseline configuration defined by the user. The thesis also presents the analytical models that have been adapted and implemented during the project in order to be able to effectively analyze and quantify the modified aircrafts performances.
