Evolution and Application of Model-Based Design in Boeing Vertical Lift Vehicle Management Systems
This presentation reviews the evolution and application of model-based design in Boeing’s Vertical Lift Vehicle Management Systems (VMS). It highlights the long-standing use of MATLAB/Simulink for requirements development, built-in test implementation, component modeling, and software/hardware-in-the-loop testing, while also exploring the emerging potential of Julia/Dyad for acausal physics-based modeling, reusable libraries, and faster execution. The presentation includes a recent IRAD effort demonstrating parallel modeling in Simulink and Dyad and discusses how these tools may support future aircraft development processes aligned with ARP-4754B.
