The use of interactive computer graphics for data handling in aircraft design, manufacturing, and product support is discussed. The software used is the Lockheed-California Company Computer-Graphics Augmented Design and Manufacturing (CADAM) system and the IRAD program CADATA. Starting with the conceptual design three view on CADAM, configuration geometry is then available through CADATA for use by the analytic users for developing the design to achieve the desired performance and cost. CADAM provides a common data base of the selected vehicle design for all user disciplines: preliminary design, loft, production design, tool design, anumerical design, loft, production design, tool design, numerical control part programming, quality control and product support. Examples of the use of CADAM and CADATA are given to illustrate the cost savings and reduced time spans achieved. (Wassmann)
