Keywords: Aircraft Conceptual Design, Knowledge Based Design, Panel Code

This paper will describe the development of a Parametric Aircraft Model, using CATIA V5, which will be linked via an in-house translation program to PANAIR which is a panel method solver for aerodynamic analysis. The Parametric Model will have the flexibility to be modified into many different configurations.
