A multi-objective optimization method for the optimization of the efficiency and weight of helicopter transmission planetary gear train was established. Taking the transmission ratio, efficiency weight, and reliability as critical design parameters, taking the conditions of the planetary gear train itself and the strength check constraint for the gear train as constraint functions, making the weight and efficiency of the planetary gear train asoptimization targets and using the Matlab function fgoalattain, a multi-objective optimization has been made. Comparison between the initial and the optimized results showed the success of the optimized planetary gear train in reducing the weight and increasing the efficiency.
