This paper presents COAST (CPACS-Oriented Aircraft Simulation Tool), a fixed-wing aircraft simulation software specifically tailored for MDO aircraft design with the CPACS format. Due to its interface with the DLR full flight simulator AVES and a built-in generic flight control system, it offers the potential to use virtual flight testing in MDO toolchains and in early stages of aircraft design.
