Call #2 - An app takes flight

 

Our goal is to identify, qualify, prove and install new digital solutions, technologies, competencies and methodologies. And we would like to do this, increasingly, with local companies and startups.

To contribute to this goal, we will regularly publish ‘Briefs’ expressing business or technological questions or challenges. Those briefs should be read in an open manner: we welcome different, out-of-the-box answers and solutions.

Should you be interested or intrigued, we invite you to get in touch with us. If you are selected, you will then be invited to a Demo Day on Airbus Helicopters premises to pitch your answer.

Brief

Goal

Build interfaces and databases to easily launch helicopter performance calculations and to more quickly share data and results about helicopter competitiveness. The interface(s) and database(s) will extend the usage of an existing calculation tool.

This mission is the first step of a global tool development aiming at better understanding Helicopter competiveness.
  • Upload existing performance/ helicopter/mission/cost data in one or more databases and add metadata (user…).

  • Build the interface to populate the databases.

  • Differentiate access rights (data handler, customer,…)

  • Be able to select the market, mission and competing helicopters and load predefined data from databases

  • Adjust data inputs through the interface and launch calculation

  • Select the different KPIs and type of results to compare helicopter competitiveness in a readable overview

  • Be able to save and load calculation parameters and trace input assumptions
  • Context

  • Link to the existing Matlab (MCR) calculation tool
  • Required know-how

  • Application development (web or other)

  • Database development

  • Iterative workflows

  • Design UX/UI

  • Data exploitation and visualization
  •
