Design Aircraft: Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, CATIA

[Normandxavier]

Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, and CATIA. I don't know which one are better to design an aircraft ? Which one should i pick for a beginner ?

I don't think there is any obvious choice here, for one, due to the fact that real airplanes are designed with a lot more tools than just a CAD program. Also, any 3D parametric modeling software is going to be similar enough that learning one will pretty much teach you most of another.

That being said, I believe CATIA is fairly popular at aerospace companies (though aerospace people are pretty much the only ones I know personally that use it).
