Why is it important?

The evolving landscape of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) design demands an integrated approach, harmonizing low-grained and high-grained fidelity methods. Notably, the utilization of low-grained fidelity tools facilitates swift aerodynamic exploration, generating an exponential number of samples, which could be difficult to individually analyze [1]. The subsequent transition to high-grained simulations, employing industry-standard tools such as ANSYS and Hyper Mesh, ensures proper validation and precise analysis of selected designs [1,61-63].

Perspectives

Resource optimization is intrinsic to this methodology, directing high-grained simulations towards a judiciously curated subset of designs identified as promising through low-grained exploration. The efficiency impact is substantial, as the integration of speed and precision expedites decision-making in preliminary and conceptual design phases [3,5,64-75]. This strategic two-tiered design process offers a systematic exploration of multidisciplinary aspects of UAV design, emphasizing the intricate interplay of aero-structural optimization.
