FAST-OAD 1.0.0

FAST-OAD is a framework for performing rapid Overall Aircraft Design

FAST-OAD: Future Aircraft Sizing Tool - Overall Aircraft Design

FAST-OAD is a framework for performing rapid Overall Aircraft Design.

It proposes multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation by relying on the OpenMDAO framework.

FAST-OAD allows easy switching between models for a same discipline, and also adding/removing disciplines to match the need of your study.

Currently, FAST-OAD is bundled with models for commercial transport aircraft of years 1990-2000. Other models will come, and you may create your own models and use them instead of bundled ones.

More details can be found in the official documentation.

Note:

Since version 1.0, FAST-OAD aims at providing a stable core software to propose a safe base for development of custom models.

Models in FAST-OAD are still a work in progress.

Install

Prerequisite:FAST-OAD needs at least Python 3.7.0.

It is recommended (but not required) to install FAST-OAD in a virtual environment (conda, venv, ...)

Once Python is installed, FAST-OAD can be installed using pip.

Note: If your network uses a proxy, you may have to do some settings for pip to work correctly

You can install the latest version with this command:

$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad
