Abstract
This paper presents the virtual assembly of an airplane turbine engine and discusses the advantages of building virtual reality models in assembly process verification. The assembly parts and assembly sequence using a Virtual Reality Design system are explained. Virtual prototyping has come a long way in recent years, where current enviroments enable sterescopic visuals, surround sound, and ample interaction with generated models. In a virtual reality environment that is built with VR Software, the virtual prototype of a turbine engine is developed, and a simulation of movement of parts is conducted to illustrate assembly process planning.
