Our great sponsors
-
AeroSandbox
Aircraft design optimization made fast through modern automatic differentiation. Composable analysis tools for aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, trajectory design, and much more.
-
InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

plotly
The interactive graphing library for Python :sparkles: This project now includes Plotly Express!
AeroSandbox - an optimization suite that combines the ease-of-use of NumPy syntax with the power of modern automatic differentiation. AeroSandbox contains dozens of end-to-end-differentiable aerospace physics models, allowing you to simultaneously optimize an aircraft's aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, mission trajectory, stability, and more. Best of all, it is designed to be run on a laptop, not a supercomputer.
Please let me know if you end up getting Python integrated into your work. The reason I was invited to speak to NLR is because I wrote a book about Python for mech/aero engineering (website here, github here, but it's really aimed at learning the language. I'm considering trying to get materials together to make a follow-up book that addresses "Great, I've learned the language. Now what?"
I've found that I love Plotly for all of my plotting work, but many of my coworkers stick to matplotlib.
