Can AI Design the Skies? Testing AI-Generated Airplanes for Aerodynamic Excellence
I came up with an idea: why not test the aerodynamics of an airplane generated by AI?
And here's what I concluded.
This model was generated using Meshy Check out the Meshy AI website for more airplane designs. It provides tools that effortlessly turn human imagination into stunning 3D models.
Here are the results. And what they show.
Aspect ratio 0.96
This is extremely low. Efficient wings usually have a ratio of between 6 and 7 (long and slender).
Lift (607) vs. Drag (19.3)
The lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) is about 31.4, which is actually quite good in isolation.
High-performance gliders can reach an (L/D) of about +50. Commercial jets are often between 15 and 20.
Reference area (0.36)
This is very small compared to the length and height.
Overall Assessment
The design is aerodynamically efficient in theory (good L/D ratio).
But it’s structurally unrealistic: the wings are too short, the aspect ratio is poor, and the reference area is too small to support flight.
That’s why the model concluded, “Takeoff: False.”
Heres another design.

Conclusion
So what is your assumption of these aerodynamics? Could I make a good airplane designer?
