The aerospace sector is under pressure to build lighter, stronger, faster — without sacrificing safety or blowing through budgets. Traditional design methods can’t keep up with the complexity and speed required for modern defense and space systems.
Enter AI-powered design optimization, where generative algorithms and physics-informed intelligence reshape how aircraft and spacecraft structures are created.
The Breakthrough
AI-driven generative design is achieving 30–50% weight reduction in aerospace components while meeting or exceeding stress and performance standards.
Netray’s platform combines machine learning, reinforcement learning, and physics-based modeling to process thousands of design iterations in hours, not months.
Why It Matters
Every pound saved in aerospace means:
- 5–8% longer range or higher payload capacity
- Lower fuel consumption and lifecycle cost
- Faster mission readiness and greater survivability
Traditional methods can’t explore the massive design space — AI can.
How It Works
- AI Generative Models – Explore optimal geometry and material layouts.
- Integrated Simulation – Validate using FEA, CFD, and fatigue analysis.
- Manufacturing Constraints Built In – Designs tailored for additive or CNC production.
- Real-Time Optimization – GPU-powered, physics-aware algorithms running in parallel.
→ The result: Stronger, lighter, certifiable designs ready for production.
Proven Impact
- Fighter Wing Optimization: 42% weight reduction, 15% more stiffness, 8-month faster certification.
- Satellite Structures: 45% lighter, 40% lower manufacturing cost.
- UAV Frames: 50% lighter carbon-fiber structures, 25% longer endurance.
Business Impact
AI-powered optimization delivers:
- 60–80% faster design cycles
- 40–50% less prototyping
- 30–45% cost savings
- 20–40% fuel efficiency improvement
And all within existing FAA, EASA, MIL-STD, and AS9100D frameworks.
The Future of Aerospace Design
From next-gen fighters to satellites, AI optimization is the new standard.
It’s not just about lighter parts — it’s about intelligent engineering that accelerates innovation across the defense and aerospace supply chain.
