Abstract

The general design has a key influence on the successful development of a helicopter.With the development of the relevant disciplines of helicopter and IT technique,the helicopter general design has developed from traditional prototype design method,parameter statistics method to modern "multidisciplinary design optimization method".Especially the application of the ideas of system engineering,concurrent engineering and modern program management in the development of aviation products produces great influence on the helicopter general design idea,pushing helicopter general design to develop towards intelligence,synthesis and systematization.Firstly,the development of helicopter general design methods is reviewed briefly,and the application of the traditional and modern design methods in the helicopter development and the differences between those methods are introduced.Then,the influences on the ideas and methods of helicopter general design produced by such aspects as the ideas of system engineering,concurrent engineering and modern program management,the helicopter new configuration and new digital technology are analyzed.Finally the development trends of helicopter general design methods are prospected.
