Case Study: Natilus accelerates blended wing aircraft development with Luminary Cloud

Accelerating Blended Wing Aircraft Development at Natilus

Natilus, an aircraft developer, faced challenges in efficiently analyzing aircraft performance during the design of its Kona blended wing aircraft. Their previous simulation tools were slow and hindered their ability to test different parameters and configurations thoroughly.

By adopting Luminary Cloud's solution for computational fluid dynamics, Natilus achieved dramatically faster performance. With Luminary, the time to run a simulation was reduced from 10-14 hours to just 5-10 minutes, providing insights 100x faster. This acceleration significantly shortened their development timeline and achieved a 98% cost reduction versus physical flight testing.
