Featured Project: AMPEL360-BWB-Q

An algorithmic framework for hydrogen Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft configuration. It is designed to navigate an astronomically large design space through systematic decomposition and intelligent, risk-aware selection.

The Challenge: A Combinatorial Explosion

Designing a novel aircraft like a hydrogen BWB involves integrating numerous subsystems, each with its own constraints. The challenge is not just technical but combinatorial.

• 43 Donor Subsystems: a pool of pre-validated components from existing aircraft
• 10 Major Integration Slots: key architectural components that must be filled
• Resulting Search Space: 43^10 = 21,611,482,313,284,249 ≈ 2.16 × 10^16 configurations — far beyond manual trade studies or brute-force computation

The Solution: A Two-Stage Optimization Pipeline

Stage 1: Feasible-First Enumeration
First, we prune the impossible. Using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Constraint Programming (CP-SAT) solvers, we apply hundreds of real-world engineering, safety, and compatibility constraints to eliminate all non-viable designs.

# Illustrative MILP/CP-SAT Constraint Definition
constraints = {
    'trl_gates': {'wing': 6, 'fuselage': 6, 'propulsion': 6},
    'compatibility': allowed_pairs_matrix,
    'physics': {'max_weight_factor': 0.65, 'min_twr': 0.55},
    'safety': {'max_evacuation_time_seconds': 90}
}

Stage 2: Risk-Aware Selection (CVaR) From the remaining thousands of feasible candidates, we select the best one. Using Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), the objective is to minimize not just the expected cost, but the tail-risk — e.g., catastrophic budget overruns due to future H₂ infrastructure delays.

# CVaR Objective Function: minimize E[cost] + λ × CVaR_α(cost)
α = 0.8   # Optimize for the worst 20% of possible future scenarios
λ = 0.25  # Risk aversion weight against H₂ infrastructure delays

Implementation Status

• ✅ Feasible Set Generation: the initial ~2.16 × 10^16 space is reduced to ~10,000 viable candidates in ~3 hours
• ✅ CVaR Optimization: risk-adjusted optimum selected from the feasible set in ~15 minutes
• ✅ Test Coverage: 92.3%
• ✅ UTCS-MI Compliance: 245 Configuration Items are 100% traced from requirement to implementation
• → Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing: scheduled for Q2 2026 to validate models against real-time hardware

Principle: strict separation of intelligence

• I-INTELLIGENT (Autonomous Intelligence): proactive, goal-driven systems (e.g., ExMCP) that decide and create without explicit triggers
• M-MACHINE (Classical Machine Learning): reactive, supervised models trained on labeled data to perform predictable tasks (e.g., predictive maintenance)
