Aerodynamic Intelligent Topology Design (AITD)-A Future Technology for Exploring the New Concept Configuration of Aircraft.

With the increasing requirements for aerodynamic performance, aerodynamic configuration design of aircraft based on traditional design experience has gradually failed to meet the needs of the future. Therefore, the new concept aerodynamic shape design will be the development trend for future aircraft, but the current new concept aerodynamic shape design is still based on the designer's understanding of the existing flow physics. One novel technology that can be useful is topology design. Compared with traditional design, topology design not only has more undetermined parameters, but also its topology variables have a greater impact on the design goals. In this perspective, we propose the concept of Artificial Intelligent Topology Design (AITD) for aerodynamic configuration design based on topology design and artificial intelligence technology and discuss its potential in the application of the new concept of aerodynamic configuration design.
