The RHEA (Realistic Human Ergonomic Analysis) development tool, was conceived by EADS Innovation Works – the research and technology organization at EADS. RHEA results from more than a decade of EADS work in creating virtual 3D environments that enable engineers to interact with computer-generated mock-ups, which are increasingly used in the aerospace sector.
RHEA enables operators to “enter” and interact with a full-scale 3D digital model by wearing special goggles, helmet-mounted displays, or even as an avatar artificial figure with human dimensions.
Following the successful introduction of RHEA at the Eurocopter helicopter business unit of EADS, this software was put into service by Airbus in supporting the A350 XWB’s design and development at French plants in Toulouse and St. Nazaire, as well as Hamburg, Germany.
The deployment of RHEA’s virtual reality world was further expanded at Airbus with its application at St. Nazaire to help train production workers as they move the A350 XWB into production
Hi! I enjoy reading your blog every day! Thank you for keeping us updated!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the first flight!

Thanks Elsa for your feedback. Before enjoying the first flight in June, we "need" to watch the MSN1 fully painted in the roll out. Not in April but in May. Keep on tunned
