The design of next generation green aircraft is a complex, iterative, and multi-disciplinary process to provide a certifiable and operating vehicle. In both the conceptual and preliminary design phases, the cost estimation is an essential task. This paper develops an approach to estimate the Life-Cycle Cost of next generation green aircraft at the design phase by integrating top-down and bottom-up techniques.
