ISO-Plane Open Technical Library

This open library provides access to the latest technical materials produced by ISO-Plane collaborators, students, engineers, and industrial partners under the Lesser Open Bee License 1.3. It is all ressources available according to the chapter 2 of the License.

CAD & 3D Models

Download updated 3D models (STEP, IGES) of aircraft structures and systems. These models are intended for collaborative design, simulation, and visualization.

  • Fuselage with central beam & ventral bay
  • Ventral cargo door – three-panel mechanism
  • Landing gear based on Bombardier Q400
  • 20-foot ISO container with interface points

System Specifications

Discover detailed system descriptions, design constraints, and interface standards for ISO-Plane development.

  • Propulsion: Twin PW150A turboprops
  • Landing gear geometry and retraction constraints
  • Pressurized cargo bay layout
  • Avionics and power distribution (student version)

Documentation & Reports

Explore reports from project milestones, including TRL1 and TRL2 closures, university contributions, and configuration trade-offs.

  • TRL1 & TRL2 phase reports (PDF)
  • ENSTA / ESTACA student deliverables
  • Mission scenario evaluations

Contributor Resources

For new collaborators: guidelines on how to contribute to the ISO-Plane project using open formats, GitHub repositories, and standard naming conventions.

  • Versioning and naming guidelines (PDF)
  • Submission templates (.docx, .step, .md)
  • FAQ: How to share and cite your work

Learning Zone

Educational content to help students and junior engineers engage in the project with confidence:

  • Introduction to aircraft structural loads
  • How turboprops work: PW150A case study
