Adjoint pathways
When gradient efficiency justifies the build for aero design variables.
Custom engineering software · Worldwide industrial delivery
Aerodynamic shape optimization that plugs into your CFD truth
Custom adjoint, gradient-based, and multi-objective aerodynamic shape optimization solvers for aircraft, UAV, and propulsion programmes that need owned design-opt IP wired to their CFD truth.
Built for: aircraft design offices, UAV/eVTOL teams, propulsion desks, and university aero labs needing owned optimization kernels
Why OEMs commission custom solvers
Optimization without trustworthy aerodynamics solvers is theatre. Flight programmes need optimization products wired to their CFD/FEA/CAD — adjoint when gradients pay off, evolutionary methods when landscapes are rough, multi-objective when leaders trade drag vs weight vs mission.
Hendoi builds custom aerodynamic shape optimization solvers and aero MDO glue: adjoint pathways, gradient and genetic strategies, multi-objective frameworks, and shape/size scopes matched to your design variables.
OEMs and labs get English docs, reproducible studies, and IP that survives procurement and design-review scrutiny.
Industrial pain points we remove
Black-box optimizers on rented CFDResults cannot be explained in airframe design review.
Adjoint ROI unclearTeams need a decision path before building adjoint infrastructure.
Multi-objective chaosLeaders need Pareto narratives for drag, weight, and mission — not raw CSV dumps.
Shape tools disconnected from manufacturing constraintsAirframe desks need constraints that match structures and production reality.

Frequently asked questions
Do we always need adjoint?
No. We recommend adjoint only when variable count and fidelity make it worthwhile.
Can you optimize with our existing CFD?
Yes — coupling to your stack is common; replacing weak links is optional.
OEM procurement fit?
Milestone delivery and English documentation are standard.
Global teams?
US/UK/EU/Canada/Australia aero MDO offices engage under NDA with clear acceptance tests.
