Rune Aero uses Nvidia GPUs to cut virtual wind tunnel costs by 80%

Rune Aero has revolutionized its aircraft development process using an interactive virtual wind tunnel powered by Physics AI, achieving an 80% reduction in early design costs while doubling payload capacity and cutting fuel consumption by 50%.  

The groundbreaking digital twin technology combines Luminary Cloud’s Nvidia CUDA-X-accelerated CFD simulations with an Nvidia Omniverse Blueprint for real time computer-aided engineering digital twins. Ultimately engineers can observe aerodynamic  effects instantly as they modify designs. This transformative approach has compressed what  traditionally required months of iterative physical testing into a continuous, real-time optimization  process for the autonomous cargo aircraft startup.
