Applications of Helicopter Mockups to Maintainability and Other Related Engineering Disciplines.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to present applications of helicopter mockups to the engineering disciplines involved in the design. The paper consists of a series of examples and suggestions, discussing how mockups can be used for: (1) Integration and coordination between customer/contractor/subcontractor/vendor levels; (2) coordination between engineering design and support groups at the contractor level; (3) improved design and demonstration of human factors and maintainability related functions. Proper application of mockups results in a savings of time, materials, and money during the later states of development. The final outcome is a more cost effective project. (Author)
