At its heart, AeroSandbox is an optimization suite that combines the ease-of-use of familiar NumPy syntax with the power of modern automatic differentiation. This automatic differentiation dramatically improves optimization performance on large problems: design problems with tens of thousands of decision variables solve in seconds on a laptop . AeroSandbox also comes with dozens of end-to-end-differentiable aerospace physics models, allowing you to simultaneously optimize an aircraft's aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, mission trajectory, stability, and more. Keeping AeroSandbox easy to learn and use is a top priority. Complexity is optional - you can use AeroSandbox's built-in physics models where helpful, or you can drop in arbitrary custom physics models of your own. ----- What can I do with AeroSandbox? Use AeroSandbox to design and optimize entire aircraft: Feather (an ultra-lightweight 1-meter-class RC motor glider) SEAWAY-Mini (a solar-electric, 13' wingspan seaplane) Use AeroSandbox to support real-world aircraft development programs, all the way from your very first sketch to your first-flight and beyond: Initial concept sketches + sizing of Dawn (a solar-electric airplane for climate science research) in AeroSandbox, Spring 2020 Dawn (later renamed SACOS ) in first flight, Fall 2022 (A massive build effort with exce","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/peterdsharpe","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/peterdsharpe/AeroSandbox/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
