Airline profitability depends on many factors; one major factor being the high availability of the aircraft at acceptable cost, which we call ‘operability’. Aircraft operability is one of the most critical criteria for trade-off in early design. This paper proposes a method using Bayesian networks for enabling design trade-off with a high-level definition of the aircraft.
