Rune Aero uses Nvidia GPUs to cut virtual wind tunnel costs by 80%
Rune Aero is using Nvidia GPUs to cut virtual wind tunnel costs by 80%, bringing down costs of developing airplanes.
Luminary Cloud developed the interactive virtual wind tunnel by combining its GPU-native CFD solvers leveraging Nvidia CUDA-X libraries, the PhysicsNeMo AI training framework, and Omniverse visualization API to create digital twin environments that deliver immediate design feedback. By quickly running a large database of simulations and creating Physics AI models, Rune Aero engineers can arrive at a feasible design faster to solve important regional air transportation problems,” said Juan J. Alonso, CTO Luminary Cloud, in a statement. “Rune’s optimized aircraft configuration resulting from these tests improves aerodynamic lift-to-drag ratio, combined with advanced propulsion, this doubles payload and range while cutting fuel burn by 50%, ultimately lowering operating costs for our customers.”
