To the SUAVE aerospace designers,

Our core team and affiliates have the pleasure of announcing the release of SUAVE version 1.0.0. This is a big step forward in SUAVE's progress towards the goal of being a fully encompassing aerospace design tool. In the future SUAVE will continue to increment in this versioning scheme. Many things have changed since 0.9.0 under the hood so we suggest all users update their SUAVE packages to take advantage of these changes.

The big new features for version 1.0.0 are:

  • Documentation through doxygen
  • Multifidelity optimization routines
  • Revamp of AVL interface
  • OpenVSP wave drag aerodynamics
  • Single point segments
  • Updates to low fidelity stability models
  • Optimized climb segments
  • Propulsion surrogates
  • New regression testing scheme
  • Updated tutorials
  • Far less confusing code structure
  • Many bug fixes and code cleanups
  • And much, much more!
