Abstract

This research presents a study for the knowledge-based configuration design development of a RC (remote control) helicopter. Parametric design and knowledge based design concepts are introduced for rapid design changes and analyses using commercial CAD software, CATIA(R) Knowledgeware module. It is crucial for RC helicopter design because it enables rapid conceptual design through instant configuration changes. Positions and dimensions of RC helicopter parts were used as design parameters. As an example, positions of CG(center of gravity) points were traced and plotted as the configuration changes. Further research should be performed in areas of user interfaces and web-based multi-user environments instead of using Excel data sheets.
