Designing a Parametric Wing with Field-Driven Airfoil and Internal Structure

This demo zooms in on a parametric wing model built entirely in nTop, where airfoil shape, camber, and thickness vary continuously along the span, and drive every downstream detail automatically.

Instead of hard-coding a NACA designation, each geometric variable (like camber and thickness) is exposed and editable across space. That means you can apply performance-driven shaping across the entire wing and have it reflected in everything, including spars, ribs, and even slot features for prototyping.

As the outer shape changes, internal structure updates in real time. Topology of ribs adapts to space constraints, spars re-align automatically, and every parameter can be configured, reused, or scaled for manufacturing or simulation. It’s a fast, powerful way to build high-fidelity wings that are ready for analysis, optimization, or physical prototyping.

It’s a hands-on look at how implicit empower engineering teams to move faster, test radically different concepts, and adapt to evolving requirements, all without starting from scratch.
