Notes from the simulation floor

How we model composites, crashes, flows and heat, and where machine learning earns its place in the loop. Written by the engineers who run the projects.

Aerodynamics

Drone aerodynamics simulation for propeller wash, ground effect and gusts

How drone aerodynamics simulation handles propeller thrust maps, propeller-airframe interaction, ground effect, gusts and low-Reynolds-number wings, when a rotating reference frame is enough, where learned residual models help flight dynamics, and what simulation leaves to flight test and the authority.
