Abstract
The paper presents a methodology of forming a system of geometric constraints in helicopter design. The methodology is based on the synthesis of the requirements in terms of ensuring operation on marine vessels, transportability, and capacity of the cargo (transport) cabin of the helicopter. The universality of this approach allows to adapt the formed system of geometrical constraints to helicopters of different purposes, both to newly developed and modernised helicopters. This methodology allows to define general geometrical characteristics of the helicopter, nomenclature of units requiring simplification of mounting and dismounting procedure of separate units and reduction of their inspection and maintenance periodicity, as well as configuration of helicopter ground and deck service facilities and recommended places of their installation.
