Fine Tuning Joby Aviation’s Air Taxi
“With Luminary, we know which ideas to pursue and which ideas not to pursue very quickly. We don’t spend months thinking about these problems.”
“The whole tool chain has been key for us: how do you get from geometry to your result. This is what Luminary is good at. Getting the geometry into the code, creating a mesh automatically and then running the code.”
5 min
Time to mesh, down from 1.5 hours with Joby’s previous solution
20 min
Time from CAD to results, down from 3 hours with Joby’s previous solution
10x
Greater engineer productivity
“Being able to do rapid design cycles in any area of the aircraft that involves fluid simulation is going to lead to a better product.”
