CEASIOMpy is an open source conceptual aircraft design environment which can be used to set up complex design and optimisation workflows for both conventional and unconventional aircraft configurations.
CEASIOMpy is mostly written in Python but it also depends on third-party libraries and software (like SU2 for the CFD calculation).
All input geometries are based on the open-standard format CPACS, a Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Schema. It uses a parametric definition for air transportation systems which is developed by the German Aerospace Center DLR.
📜 CEASIOMpy is maintained by CFS Engineering and Airinnova. CEASIOMpy is under the Apache License 2.0.
