Evolvable designs allow development costs of future products to be lowered significantly. This work contributes to aircraft conceptual design space exploration, by enabling combined exploration of both airframes and subsystems evolvability. This is made possible by combining existing subsystems-architecting and design space exploration techniques with novel commonality detection algorithms. rn
