Motivation

This library is a free-time project. I am using it as an excuse to:

1. Experiment the performance of several scientific computing packages and tools (NumPy, Numba, etc.) applied to a computation-intensive application.

2. Learn how to properly package an open source Python library, leveraging testing with the excelent free CI tools.

3. Redo properly (in terms of performance optimization, SW best practices, …) a project I enjoyed a lot during my Master Thesis, back in 2014. I have always been curious to know how much could I improve the code performance.

My thesis covered the analysis of the aeroelastic response of an UAV in a gust scenario.

My plan is to implement the following modules in order:

• 3D steady VLM

• 3D then unsteady VLM

• Wing motion equation solver (aeroelastic response)
