SoftInWay Helping Change Aerospace Design Methodology
The company has been awarded a Phase II contract to expand its work developing an axial compressor map generation program
Last September, SoftInWay announced its award of a NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to improve turbomachinery designs for use in high power-density engines. The company has now been awarded the Phase II contract to expand upon its work developing an axial compressor map generation program that leverages an autonomous self-training AI. This project will enable companies to develop reliable and efficient technology faster.
SoftInWay partnered with engineers from Raytheon Technologies and researchers from Purdue University during Phase I. It will continue to work with them to further refine the developed AI-based program by making it applicable to a variety of axial compressors. This ultimately means the development of better aircraft.
