A minicomputer based program for the initial configuration development of aircraft concepts is described. The traditional procedurs for configuration development are reviewed to establish requirements for the computer-aided system. The computer-aided procedures are demonstrated with an illustrative example beginning with initial sizing data and proceeding through a first concept, analysis, iteration, and successive increases in the complexity level of the design, leading to computer generated loft lines, production layouts, and N.C. programming. Additional discussion adresses the requirements for minicomputer implementation, data base manipulation, and use by designers with no prior computer experience. (Stoehr)
