Keywords: Systems engineering, design optimization

In this paper the different tools for design analysis of complex aircraft systems are discussed. These include system optimization, sensitivity analysis, robustness analysis, and functional correlation. These tools have been implemented so that they can be used on integrated system models. They are demonstrated on an aircraft design example.
