Optimization of diamond d-jet very light jet facilitated by Sculptor design recommendation

Diamond Aircraft Industries, one of the world's premier producers of single and twin-engine propeller aircraft and single-engine jet aircraft, is currently developing a single-engine Very Light Jet (VLJ), the "D-Jet". During the development phase, a suite of advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technologies is applied in order to speed up the engineering process.
Optimal Solutions, with the use of its unique Sculptor real-time CFD design deformation technology, teamed up with ANSYS, Inc., a global innovator of simulation software and technologies, and used that Company's FLUENT® software to assist in the CFD optimization of the wing and nacelle of the D-Jet. The study culminated in a proprietary recommendation to Diamond that projects a significant improvement to wing/nacelle interference and stall characteristics.
