SUAVE is a conceptual level aircraft design environment built with the ability to analyze and optimize both conventional and unconventional designs. This capability is achieved in part by allowing analysis information for aircraft to be drawn from multiple sources. Many other software tools for aircraft conceptual design rely on fixed empirical ...
Download and extract the release archive. Open the directory SUAVE/trunk. Open a command prompt in that directory. Run this command: python3 setup.py install. If you are on a linux or mac, you may need to run. sudo python3 setup.py install. Change to any other folder, open a python shell, and test the new module with the command import SUAVE.
Open a command prompt, in a directory that you want to start the repository (for example in the SUAVE_Project folder), and run the git clone command. git clone <git url>. Now you should have the source code. Change directory into the trunk folder and run a developer installation command. python3 setup.py develop.
Tutorials. These are tutorials for SUAVE. The tutorials will then help you get started with SUAVE. We recommend starting with the Boeing 737-800 tutorial and then moving to the Regional Jet Optimization or the Turbofan Network tutorial. These will allow you to explore the capabilities of SUAVE. If you haven't already downloaded the latest ...
Next is the SUAVE imports. SUAVE is imported directly first, which allows us to grab individual SUAVE classes later on without importing each one at the top. Next, the Data and Units modules are imported. Data is a SUAVE-specific data structure that operates much like a dictionary but has some special features as described in the comments.
SUAVE is a conceptual level aircraft design environment that incorporates multiple in-formation sources to analyze unconventional con gurations. This work incorporates higher- delity tools to build upon previous e orts where SUAVE analyzed and optimized several types of aircraft using low- delity methods. This is done in an automated way that in-
Basic eVTOL Analysis. This video shows one way to setup an eVTOL aircraft for basic analysis. This configuration was chosen to be dissimilar to existing eVTOL models, yet be able to highlight how to use SUAVE. Basic eVTOL Analysis.
SUAVE 2.5.0. The Latest in Aerospace Design. This release has numerous changes. Unfortunately, some interfaces have been altered to support all these changes. We tried to make these interface alterations as user friendly and intuitive as possible. The next major release will be a 3.0 with significant changes.

Frequently Asked Questions. Alright, you dove in and now you’re stuck. You’ve come to a good starting point. If this FAQ fails you then we suggest you go through tutorials, maybe our paper, send us a question in the forum, or if all else fails start reading code. Don’t worry the code is more readable than most engineering textbooks.
