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.

⚠️ Upgrading from an earlier version than 1.3 may break the fastoad command line (no impact on PythonAPI). See this issue for details and fix.

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
