AI agent for aerospace engineers
Engineering Change Impact Agent
Every item affected by a change found and updated
What it does
A small change to one aircraft part can affect drawings, analyses, test plans and manuals, and missing one causes trouble at audit or in service. When a change request is raised, this agent reads it and searches the parts list, drawing tree and document links for everything connected. It lists the affected items and their owners and asks owners to confirm any item they think is not affected. It drafts an impact summary for the change board, which approves the change. The agent then tracks each item. Before the change can close, it checks that every affected item has been updated or confirmed not affected. If items are still open, it blocks closure and reminds owners, then checks again. Edge case: a part used in two aircraft variants is flagged for both, so the second variant's documents are not forgotten.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
