Register now: Code-First Digital Engineering for Advanced Aircraft Systems

Engineering teams developing complex aerospace systems spend the majority of their time on manual data wrangling and synchronization—not design work. Research shows less than half of engineering time goes to actual design activities, with collaboration overhead across companies, disciplines, and tools consuming up to 90% of capacity. The impact: we may see our first $1 trillion program in the not too distant future.

Software engineering solved distributed, scalable system development decades ago through version control, automated testing, and continuous integration. This session demonstrates how those same principles can transform hardware development—bringing software-like speed and reliability to aerospace design.

Join us for a live demonstration where we'll design a high-fidelity Group 3 UAV using a code-first approach. You'll see how requirements captured in SysML v2 become automated validation tests, how parametric design workflows generate and evaluate geometry reliably and at scale, and how CI/CD pipelines provide continuous feedback on whether designs meet requirements—enabling teams to explore hundreds or thousands of variants instead of just a select few.

What You'll See

In this webinar, you'll see how code-first digital engineering principles transform hardware development:

• Requirements as executable code: Machine-readable SysML v2 requirements that enable automated validation throughout the design process—no more manual checking or late-stage discovery of requirement violations.
• Parametric design automation at scale: Computational workflows that generate geometry reliably from requirements, enabling exploration of hundreds to thousands of design variants where traditional CAD-centric approaches manage only a handful.
• Continuous validation with CI/CD pipelines: Automated testing borrowed from software engineering that validates every design change against requirements within minutes—catching integration issues early when they're inexpensive to fix.
• Complete workflow demonstration: Watch a Group 3 UAV designed from scratch using SysMLv2 (Istari Digital/SysGit), parametric implicit modeling (nTop), and automated GitLab pipelines—showing the complete flow from requirements through validated geometry.
