FAST-OAD: An open source framework for rapid Overall Aircraft Design

FAST-OAD: Future Aircraft Sizing Tool - Overall Aircraft Design

FAST-OAD is a framework for performing rapid Overall Aircraft Design.

It proposes multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation by relying on the OpenMDAO framework.

FAST-OAD allows easy switching between models for a same discipline, and also adding/removing/developing models to match the need of your study.

More details can be found in the official documentation.

Important notice:

Since version 1.3.0, FAST-OAD models for commercial transport aircraft have moved in package
FAST-OAD-CS25. This package is installed along with FAST-OAD, to keep backward compatibility. Keep in mind that any update of these models will now come through new releases of FAST-OAD-CS25 To get FAST-OAD without these models, you may install FAST-OAD-core.

Want to try quickly?

You can run FAST-OAD tutorials without installation using our Binder-hosted Jupyter notebooks.

Install

Prerequisite:FAST-OAD needs at least Python 3.7.0.

It is recommended (but not required) to install FAST-OAD in a virtual environment (conda, venv, ...)

Once Python is installed, FAST-OAD can be installed using pip.

Note: If your network uses a proxy, you may have to do some settings for pip to work correctly

You can install the latest version with this command:

$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad

or, if you want the minimum installation without the CS25-related models:

$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad-core
