The world's premier source of mass properties knowledge and technical excellence since 1939.
Developing Basic Parametric Methods
Instructor:
Andy Walker – SAWE Member – Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems
Class Description:
Have you ever been asked to predict the future? With a little information, you can explore the solution-space around the problems you encounter on the job as a Mass Properties engineer.
The course will cover:
- Parametric estimation and rapid aircraft mass properties assessments.
- Feasibility studies on detail design projects
- Conceptual trade studies based on very limited information
- Quantify predictive and descriptive uncertainty around your predictions
- Calculate the benefits of next-generation technologies
Agenda items will include basic statistical terminology, statistical correlation processes, parametric estimation pitfalls, and a parametric fighter aircraft wing weight correlation example.
