CRYSTAL aims to provide CRITICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING INNOVATION and ACCELERATION
Interoperability and traceability across the lifecycle are critical to show success
Interoperability Specification
Public Aerospace Use Case Study as Proof of Concept based on COTS solutions and open standards
This example is powered by Airbus, Alenia, IBM, Polito University, etc.

Use Case Objective:
• Definition of De-icing System for Regional Turboprop
Aircraft, with:
o Minimal Cost, Weight, Power Consumption
o Fulfilling safety constraints
o Fulfilling functional needs (i.e. keep Aircraft components
free-of ice)
Pneumatic Boots
De-icing Fluid
Aerothermic using Bleed Air
Aerothermic Engine Cooling Air
Electric
Electro-Impulsive
Optimal Solution ?
Engineering Challenges:
• Many change requests; how to assess
impact?
• Different alternative concepts for De-
icing:
• Efficient collaboration across the
disciplines

Engineering management and their team must respond to a
regulatory change that impacts an aircraft system modification
Certification Authorities say: Reduce maximum
pressure in pipes and equipment.
Consequence: Boots de-icing and it’s overpressure
safety relief must work at a lower applied pressure
“Change That Overpressure Relief Valve!:
•It Shall open already at 19 psi (instead of 23 psi)”

Boots inflate and break ice
Aircraft De-Icing System (design concept)
If pressure gets too high, relief Valve will open to avoid damage to de-icing system pressurized air relieved to atmosphere

Summary of today’s IBM capability in action
The manager used live analytics to decide to speed up the work.
The manager can make faster, better decisions to meet program goals
The work flowed predictably easily to team
The engineer can collaborate confidently and accurately contribute at speed
The team managed their work towards delivery
The team can execute more efficiently over more predictable activities & deliveries

SummaryIBM Continuous Engineering solution facilitates:
17
• Lean or Agile co-ordination of work and modifications
• More rapid assessment of the impact of change
• Optimise system design trade-offs more efficiently
• Quicker design change impact on non-functional disciplines
• Requirements validated more quickly
• System alternatives optimized more quickly
• Faster loop closing on changes to the design and the safety cases
• Earlier selection of parts and engagement of suppliers
