This is a Python project for parametric aircraft design that employs the use various libraries to assist in the conceptual design of fixed-wing aircraft and design validation
It is simply a collection of various libraries and "work arounds" to enable quick 3D modelling of aircraft and estimating various parameters for design validation It uses:
- Tigl for geometry generation
- Datcom for stability and control derivaives estimation(Very Problemtic)
- Trimesh to estimate moments of inertia and center of mass
- Aerosandbox for determining aerodynamic coefficients,and alos for stability and control deriavtives
This is merely a means to help imporve my skills and understanding aircraft design.I have by ,no means, figured anything out 😅 Hop on if you want to help or you have suggestios as to how to make is better cool.
- First download the code from this repository or clone it
- Then install all dependencies with
pip install - Make sure you are running on Python 3.7.
The "main" script is located in "run-point". Please email me your "specification.json" file if you manage to come up with cool designs.:smile: ####Note Design is split into two categories;
- Conventional for simple designs
- Unconventional for complex designs
- I hope to fully Comment the code with detailed descriptions 😅
- I would like to possible get a better library or create one to increase the fidelity of the simulations(Aerodyamic simluations)
- Add drag and Drop funtionality
- Posssible come up with a better design for the UI 😅
- If you have any features in mind ,contact me:smiley:
Please, please report all bugs by sending me an email at [Kojogyaase@gmail.com] or create an issue
Please note that, while the entirety of the codebase should be cross-platform compatible, it has only been tested on Windows 10 in Python 3.7
