The Modeling Advanced Aircraft Propulsion (MAAP™) tool is a software suite that optimizes propulsion systems for flight applications. It is used by aerospace engineers and designers to virtually model “what if” configuration scenarios for new electric and hybrid-electric aircraft systems for the advanced air mobility market.
Companies can discover what a vehicle’s powertrain “looks like” based on different propulsion system models to avoid potential costly mistakes early in the design process of a vehicle.
• Optimizes a motor and drive combination at multiple (unlimited) operating points subject to dozens of constraints at each point.
• Operational and design constraints have been identified and modeled based on LaunchPoint’s decades of experience.
• Analyzes the off-design performance of motor and drive combinations.
• Readily performs system-level trade studies including requirements trades, operating point trades, and technology trades – MAAP™ will even perform simultaneous combined trade studies.
• Unlocks weight and performance for your design.
• Motor and drive models based on fundamental physics, not curve fits to existing motors, so MAAP™ can model “out of the box” designs that may be far from any existing designs.
• Extensive set of technology parameters can be adjusted to examine the impact of new technology on propulsion system performance.
