AeroSandbox: A Differentiable Framework for Aircraft Design Optimization

This work presents a new computational framework for conceptual aircraft design called AeroSandbox. This framework leverages modern techniques for automatic differentiation developed in the optimal control and machine learning communities. By combining these efficient gradient calculations with robu...
