AI-Accelerated Engineering, Generative AI & SHIFT-Wing: A Physics AI Model for Aircraft Design
๐ Donโt just teach. Teach to question what they read. Teach to question everything.

๐ SHIFT-Wing: A Physics AI Model to Accelerate Aircraft Design Innovation
Physics AI represents a new paradigm. By delivering accurate aerodynamic predictions in seconds - without manual meshing, solver setup, or post-processing - it opens the door to rapid, informed design exploration. But until now, organizations faced steep barriers to entry: training effective models demands massive quantities of high-fidelity simulation data.
Thatโs why Luminary developed the SHIFT model family - pretrained Physics AI models that help teams jumpstart their Physics AI deployment.

Powered by a universal physics engine re-designed and rebuilt from the ground up, Genesis integrates various physics solvers and their coupling into a unified framework. This core physics engine is further enhanced by a generative agent framework that operates at an upper level, aiming toward fully automated data generation for robotics and beyond.

๐ป Engineering Tool of the Week - Mefisto
What it is:
Mefisto (Mechanical Field Simulation Tools) is a free, open-source toolbox for GNU Octave that supports research and teaching in solid mechanics, aerodynamics, and aeroelasticity. Itโs not a commercial competitor, but a fully documented academic toolkit.
Key Features:
Solid Mechanics: FEM for rods, beams, membranes, shells; static, modal, and transient analysis.
Aerodynamics: Steady & time-harmonic Vortex Lattice Method for lifting surfaces and trim analysis.
Aeroelasticity: Static divergence, flutter, gust & manoeuvre response analysis.
Integration: Gmsh interface for pre/postprocessing.

Understanding Aerodynamics: Arguing from the Real Physics
Based on the authorโs decades of industrial experience with Boeing, this book helps students and practicing engineers to gain a greater physical understanding of aerodynamics. Relying on clear physical arguments and examples, McLean provides a much-needed, fresh approach to this sometimes contentious subject without shying away from addressing โrealโ aerodynamic situations as opposed to the oversimplified ones frequently used for mathematical convenience.
Motivated by the belief that engineering practice is enhanced in the long run by a robust understanding of the basics as well as real cause-and-effect relationships that lie behind the theory, he provides intuitive physical interpretations and explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions and misinterpretations, and building upon the contrasts provided by wrong explanations to strengthen understanding of the right ones.
