If helicopter manufacturers and designers thought as the guys at IBM did im sure the helicopter would be so differtent and refined by now, a computer can calculate optimum blade desigh without even flying the thing... beoing 777 designed completely from CAD plans all wing design testing too
Y is it so hard for things to change... The way helicopters are made to day is the same as it was 50 years ago... im sure a safer, stronger and lighter airframe can be developed using modern techology
I'm not particularly following what you are trying to say here. I can tell you that during the 1990s Sikorsky was using the very same 3d CAD software (CATIA from Dassault Systemes) to design the Comanche that Boeing used to design the 777.
