THE AI ANGLE
Exploring preliminary aircraft design configurationsRussia's United Aircraft Corporation replaced Western design software across 4,000 computers with domestic tools following foreign supplier withdrawals. The company is also testing Sberbank's GigaChat model to evaluate preliminary aircraft configurations. Aerospace programs now rely on local software to run system calculations and manage development under foreign technology restrictions.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Consider whether domestic computational platforms can maintain design standards when severed from established global software suppliers.Read the original at techradar.com Generate teaching or study materials
