The Challenge
Lengthy aerodynamics simulations in aircraft design limiting the number of design iterations engineers can test.
The AI Solution
AI models (including neural networks) trained to predict aerodynamic outcomes of design changes in seconds, enabling a generative design approach.
Type of AI Used: Machine Learning (Physics simulation acceleration)
Results & Impact
Airbus used AI to cut aircraft aerodynamics prediction time from ~1 hour to just 30 milliseconds. This lets engineers test ~10,000 more design iterations in the same time.
