The result is a surprisingly organic wing shape—very different from the one I originally designed. So I built it. Using aerodynamic analysis with AeroSandbox VLM, structural modeling, and Differential Evolution optimization, the AI eventually converges on a new design that appears to be ~16% more efficient than my previous wing. We then 3D print the airframe, assemble the aircraft, and take it out for the first maiden flight to see if the AI result actually works in the real world. In the next videos we’ll dive deeper into flight testing, efficiency measurements, and understanding why the algorithm selected this particular geometry.
