Key Takeaways:

  • Argonne National Laboratory is developing Aeronomie, a dynamic aircraft simulation tool designed to model and optimize the future performance of electric, hybrid, urban air mobility (UAM), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
  • Aeronomie is based on Argonne's successful Autonomie program for road vehicles and enables comprehensive flight simulations, focusing on optimizing aircraft systems and maximizing battery efficiency.
  • The customizable tool allows users to combine aircraft and powerplant dynamics, study their interactions, and build virtual aircraft using predefined or custom models to capture flight environment, aerodynamics, and power systems.
