Conceptual Aircraft Design

Turn concept design into an insights engine

nTop transforms advanced aircraft design from slow, manual iteration into systematic exploration of your entire tradespace that de-risks proposals and protects PWin.

10,000 iterations beats 10.
Every time.

Traditional CAD and simulation take weeks per iteration, forcing critical downselection decisions to be made with an incomplete understanding of the tradespace. nTop advanced design and simulation software enables you to generate and evaluate thousands of variants rapidly, so you can build winning proposals through comprehensive exploration of aerodynamic, structural, and performance tradeoffs.

nTop for conceptual aircraft design

Robust modeling, fast simulation, and rapid iteration—for when winning the program depends on understanding and minimizing risk.

GENERATE THE TRADESPACE

Make broad parametric changes with zero rebuild failures

Create major changes in design variations instantly with implicit modeling that never breaks—enabling systematic evaluation of wing configurations, fuselage geometries, and propulsion layouts without modeling rework.

EVALUATE EVERY ITERATION

Simulate complex geometry without meshing bottlenecks

Analyze structural and aerodynamic performance instantly as concepts evolve, with meshless simulation that handles complex wing geometries, internal structures, and flow paths without preprocessing delays.

ITERATE AT SCALE

Automated workflows for tradespace exploration

Generate and analyze hundreds of configuration variants automatically using parametric logic and Design of Experiments—transforming concept exploration from manual iteration to systematic intelligence gathering.

CONNECT YOUR TOOLCHAIN

Integrate your current tools into the exploration process

nTop connects with your existing design, simulation, and MDO tools to facilitate a fast and automated concept design workflow.
