DaVinci · aerodynamics
See the flow the way DaVinci does.
Surface pressure
The pressure the air leaves on the skin. A deep suction band over the leading edge on top carries most of the lift; the underside runs higher pressure.
What DaVinci runs
The simulations behind a flight-ready part.
DaVinci covers the aerodynamics and the analysis around it, on the model Archimedes just shaped.
External aerodynamics
Lift, drag and the pressure field over the airframe, from cruise to high angle of attack.
Aeroelasticity & flutter
How the structure and the airflow load each other, and where flutter sets in.
Structural FEA
Stress, buckling and margins in spars, ribs and skins under flight loads.
Thermal
Engine-bay, bleed-air and de-icing heat across the part.
Aeroacoustics
Airframe, fan and jet noise, and where it comes from.
Icing
Ice building on the leading edges, and the drag it adds.
Fatigue & durability
Crack growth and life under the load spectrum a fleet actually flies.
Shape optimization
Sweeping the geometry toward less drag at the target lift, then looping.
Across aviation
One workspace, every sub-domain.
From a low-Reynolds UAV wing to an area-ruled supersonic body, the agents run the same loop against each one’s targets.
M 0.78–0.85
Commercial transport
Supercritical wings and nacelles tuned for cruise.
M 0.4–0.8
Business & general aviation
Laminar-flow wings and clean airframes.
M 0.1–0.4
UAV & eVTOL
Low-Reynolds sections and rotor-wing interaction.
tip M 0.6+
Rotorcraft
Blade sections from a slow root to a near-transonic tip.
fan & core
Propulsion
Fan blades, inlets, nacelles and exhaust.
M 1.2+
Defense & supersonic
Thin sections and area-ruled bodies at high load.
Shape optimization
The shape iterates until L/D converges.
Parametrize, solve, optimize, build. The first three run in a tight loop inside one window before the shape is ever committed to a part.
01
Parametrize
Archimedes
Section and planform reduce to a few parameters: camber, thickness, twist and sweep.
02
Solve
DaVinci
CFD returns lift, drag and the pressure field for the current shape.
03
Optimize
Archimedes
It reads the gradient, nudges the shape toward less drag at the target lift, and loops.
04
Manufacture
Vulcan
Vulcan writes the CNC code for the wing tooling, proven in simulation before it is cut.
