Abstract
We study the rectifying developable surface of a framed base curve and a framed helix in the Euclidean space. A framed base curve is a smooth curve with a moving frame which may have singular points. By using the curvature of a framed base curve, we investigate the rectifying developable surface and a framed helix. Moreover, we introduce two new invariants of a framed base curve, which characterize singularities of the rectifying developable surface and a framed helix.
