This paper presents an advanced morphological approach supporting designers and developers in their search, synthesis and analysis of new engineering solutions of new aircraft configurations during the Conceptual Design Phase. The process covers the analysis of the underlying problem structure as well as the appropriate synthesis and modelling during the Conceptual Design Phase. The specifics of structural synthesis consist of the discreteness of variables, the presence of conditionally logical limitations and the need to work with multiple conflicting criteria. The purposeful variation of characteristic values for configuration variants improves the initial ones. Key objective is to find a solution space of configurations with the potential to fulfil the top level aircraft requirements. Implementation and usage of cluster analysis, set theory, set of rules allows to identify the clusters of innovative aircraft configurations combining high performance potential with robustness regarding requirement changes and design uncertainties. Case studies verify the significant potential of the proposed approach compared to present methods.
