CAD engineering software for airport design and planning

New commercial and military helicopters added to help in the design of airports

Transoft Solutions, developers of advanced CAD engineering software, have just released a new helicopter addition to the aircraft library for their airside design software family, AeroTURN and AeroTURN Pro. The productivity-enhancing software are used by airport planners and engineers around the world to simulate aircraft movement at runways, aprons, and gates in airside development and expansion projects. The helicopter update will supplement the existing aircraft specifications library and the aircraft expansion update released last July.

The new update (free to all current AeroTURN and AeroTURN Pro clients on version 3.0) features new- to-the-software helicopters and their manufacturers. Users can now select and work with 40 different commercial and military helicopters from manufacturers such as AgustaWestland, Bell, Boeing, Eurocopter, and MD Helicopters.

All the helicopters in the update meet manufacturers’ dimensional specifications (rotary blade sweep, fuselage length and width, etc) and includes skid kit, place only types as well as wheeled gear models that can be used to simulate the movement of helicopters by ground crews. Airport planners can use the new helicopters library update in the design of heliports and associated hanger space.

“Like in every one of our software development cycles, we actively listen to what new features our users want, “ said Transoft Solutions Product Manager, Michael Frost, about the AeroTURN helicopter update. “More and more of our users have asked that we include helicopters that can be utilized in their airside designs and we accommodated their requests by investing a good amount of research and development time in creating the helicopters.”
