The mass production of aircrafts has been mainly led by the objective of both maximizing technological performances and minimizing the manufacturing costs. Within also the constraints of safety and security rules defined by certification organisms, the traditional innovation management has consisted above all in implementing a "technology-push" approach. New developed aircrafts have been then mostly driven by Research and Technology projects outputs. Nevertheless, current market competitiveness and complexity lead to change this approach. The needs of aeronautical customers evolve, change and become diversified, which raise multiple specific profiles to be taken into account as early as possible in today's development programs. In order to ensure high value and differentiation perception by all the stakeholders, the innovation policy has to shift from mass production to mass customization, and to integrate both "market-read" and 'technology-push" approaches in the preliminary phase of innovation. The goal of this PhD thesis is to provide the aircraft program managers with a methodological support, named Concept-to-Value, to steer by value the so called Fuzzy Front End of Innovation stage in the literature. At the bridge between the Product Planning and Conceptual Design research works, our contribution improves the existing methodologies on the Business and Engineering domains integration. Concept-to-Value brings a more agile and integrated collaboration of multidisciplinary players: a common language and value model represent their innovation Knowledge, Problems and Solutions. Finally, a convergence process is also defined to conduct the preliminary phase and to deliver high value aircraft concepts.
