COLOSSUS is a Collaborative System of Systems Exploration project to design Aviation Products considering Business Models . The project developed a system-of-systems design methodology which will enable the combined optimization of aircraft, operations and business models. Resulting specific solutions for intermodal transport and wildfire-fighting as well as developed methods and tools will be openly published in order to foster exploitation for research and industry.
To develop Seaplanes and E-VTOLs, this holistic 4-level approach spans the Business Models, System of Systems, Constituent Systems and Subsystems while capturing the complex interactions and interdependencies between the levels to extend the usual design and product development processes.
