This paper describes an efficient aircraft geometry design tool which is necessary for design and analysis applications through Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD). The design process decomposes aircraft geometry into several components to represent it precisely and realistically with a reduced number of shape control parameters. For this purpose, several configuration representat...
