This paper presents a new approach on aircraft design education based on LPD principles in order to expand knowledge generation and communication during early aircraft design phase, and as a consequence support the emergence of innovative, efficient design solutions as well as provide wide knowledge on aircraft design problematization. The benefits of working with set-based and visible knowledge in a new process framework are evidenced in a case study of early aircraft design at PEE (Embraer Engineering Specialization Program), an environment of aeronautical industry simulation focused on the capacitation of young engineers.
