SkyDrive Inc., a leading eVTOL aircraft manufacturer based in Japan, and Braid Technologies, an innovator in AI-driven engineering solutions, collaborate on a project to enhance engineering design through advanced optimization techniques.

This collaboration brings together Braid’s expertise in modern AI and mathematical modeling techniques with SkyDrive’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of aeronautic engineering.

This innovative approach leverages the full potential of AI to generate thousands of design patterns and select the most suitable one, aiming to achieve results that surpass traditional design methods.

Together, we have finished initial collaboration to tackle complex design challenges, reflecting both companies’ dedication to innovation and excellence. We will continue to explore new approaches.

“We were pleased to work with SkyDrive on this important project,” said Ivo Timoteo, CEO of Braid. “Their willingness to embrace new methodologies aligns with our goal of advancing engineering practices and possibilities.”

“We have been working with Braid to find new ways to optimize the structure of SkyDrive’s next generation eVTOL. Rather than using generalized techniques like topology optimization, we were inspired by their advanced and creative technology that deals with a large number of parameters that impact the weight of the structure,” said Arnaud Coville, Chief Development Office of SkyDrive.
