Question 1

How does this replace my Excel and Python workflow?

Accepted Answer

Instead of maintaining fragile spreadsheets and scripts, you get integrated tools with automatic data flow. Geometry feeds directly into aerodynamics, which feeds into performance analysis—no manual copy-paste, no import/export gymnastics. Plus, it's professionally maintained, so it won't break when you update a library.

Question 2

How do I hand off to CAD and detail design?

Accepted Answer

Export validated geometry to STEP, STL, and other standard formats. Use these for wind-tunnel models, prototypes, or as starting geometry in CATIA/SiemensNX. AircraftDesign.io remains useful after handover—for trade studies, configuration control, and tracking original design assumptions.

Question 3

Is this accurate enough for conceptual design?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use validated aerospace methods (Vortex Lattice Method, panel methods, empirical weight equations) benchmarked against industry-standard tools and academic test cases. For early-phase design, our accuracy is more than sufficient to make informed decisions and guide detail design.

Question 4

How do I get access to the beta?

Accepted Answer

Sign up with your email to join the waitlist. We'll notify you when beta access becomes available. No payment information required—just your email to stay updated.

Question 5

What happens after I sign up?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a confirmation email and be added to our waitlist. We'll send updates as we approach the beta launch, and you'll be among the first to get access when we're ready.

Question 6

What can the platform actually do?

Accepted Answer

Parametric aircraft geometry design with real-time 3D visualization. Aerodynamic analysis using Vortex Lattice Method (VLM). Weight and balance estimation with center of gravity calculation. Performance analysis for range, endurance, and climb rate. Export to standard formats (STEP, STL) for CAD handoff.
