Abstract :
As a complex engineering technique, reverse engineering is dependent on the high precision measuring equipment. As to special aircraft configuration with complex free-form surfaces, traditional direct CAD constructing method is inefficient. By analyzing the technical characteristics of reverse engineering, a new design approach for special aircraft shape with complex free-form surface is proposed. Finally, the comparison between the traditional method and the new approach is made, and the feasibility of the new design approach is discussed.
