Within the research project AdVanced Aircraft CONfiguration (AVACON) a collaborative conceptual design of a mid-range aircraft with ultra high bypass ratio (UHBR) engines and an envisioned entry-into-service in the year 2028 is conducted. In this paper, the approach for overall architecting, sizing, and evaluation of aircraft on-board systems in AVACON is presented. To this end, important contributions to conceptual system design methods proposed in the literature are reviewed to identify directions for methodological improvements. The role allocation of contributing partners and their methodologies for system design activities is described. Having different contributors guarantees, that tasks from overall aircraft to detailed subsystem design with a successive increase in the fidelity of system models is covered. In addition, a state-of-the-art baseline architecture is defined, which will serve as a starting point to conduct trade-off studies for investigation of the potential of system architecture concepts and innovative technologies. Substantial system design requirements and novel boundary conditions, implied by the advanced aircraft configuration, are derived to give an outlook for planned technology studies.
