Aircraft Design Python Packages

aerosandbox

Aircraft design optimization made fast through computational graph transformations (e.g., automatic differentiation). Composable analysis tools for aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, trajectory design, and much more.

neuralfoil

NeuralFoil is a practical airfoil aerodynamics analysis tool using physics-informed machine learning, exposed to end-users in pure Python/NumPy.

jsbsim

An open source flight dynamics & control software library

pterasoftware

Ptera Software is a fast, easy-to-use, and open-source software package for analyzing flapping-wing flight.

panelaero

An Implementation of the Vortex Lattice (VLM) and the Doublet Lattice Method (DLM) for aeroelasticity.

loadskernel

The Loads Kernel Software allows for the calculation of quasi-steady and dynamic maneuver loads, unsteady gust loads in the time and frequency domain as well as dynamic landing loads based on a generic landing gear module.

aircraftdr

Aircraft Design Resources - aircraft conceptual design framework

xflrpy

xflrpy is a python enabled version of xflr5 for scripting and design optimization.

adr-ca

ADR is a python library to analyse aircraft conceptual designs. ADR has several tools that allows one to create different aircraft designs and analyse those from different points os view.
