This paper presents a method for generating an aircraft concept from an ontology represented design space, where relevant information subsequently can be extracted and expanded through different approaches. A case study is performed to illustrate how the method can be used to estimate the characteristics of an existing aircraft and to perform an initial geometrical sizing.
