PhysicsX releases the first Large Geometry Model, LGM-Aero, for aerospace engineering, trained and provisioned on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud compute using more than 25 million different shapes. It reduces the time to investigate aerospace concepts from months to hours.

Trained and provisioned on AWS, LGM-Aero is a geometry and physics model pre-trained on a corpus of 25+ million meshes representing over 10 billion vertices, enabling dramatic reductions in aircraft concept development time’Ai.rplane’ is a publicly accessible reference application built on LGM-Aero meant to showcase the power of the model for generating novel aircraft designs and predicting physics associated with aircraft performance, unveiled today at AWS re:Invent 2024 (2-6 Dec, Las Vegas)Both Ai.rplane and LGM-Aero are available on the PhysicsX engineering AI platformLGM-Aero’s training data includes a large high-fidelity physics corpus generated with the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio in collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries

LONDON, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PhysicsX, a London-based start-up bringing the power of generative AI to enable breakthrough engineering in advanced industries, has launched the first Large Geometry Model (LGM) for aerospace engineering, LGM-Aero, and a publicly accessible reference application, Ai.rplane, to showcase its power in designing aero structures.

Ai.rplane allows engineers to generate innovative aircraft designs in an infinitely wide design space and instantaneously assess the designed aircraft’s potential performance.

Developed and provisioned on AWS, LGM-Aero was trained on more than 25 million meshes, representing more than 10 billion vertices, and a corpus of tens of thousands of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations generated with Siemens Digital Industries tools. It is a fully trained model that generalizes to a broad set of aeroelastic applications. It also infers aero performance, flight stability and structural stress for a large class of flying shapes as a zero-shot model. This technology creates geometry and assesses performance results in less than a second, compared to the several hours required for traditional numerical simulations.

“We are delighted to work with PhysicsX as they develop their first Large Geometry Model and release its showcase application Ai.rplane,” said Ozgur Tohumcu, General Manager, Automotive and Manufacturing, AWS.  “This technology will accelerate the transformation of engineering in Advanced Industries for AWS customers, enabling them to bring their products to the market faster while increasing product performance. We’ve been impressed by PhysicsX’s pace of innovation and look forward to deepening our collaboration.”

In one seamless operation, the technology creates novel designs, predicts lift, drag, stability, structural stress and other attributes for each shape, then optimises the design according to the user’s preferences. When used in industrial applications, this workflow reduces development time from months to hours.

“In the same way that large language models understand text, Ai.rplane has a vast knowledge of the shapes and structures that are important to aerospace engineering,” says Jacomo Corbo, co-founder and CEO of PhysicsX. “The technology can optimise across multiple types of physics in seconds, many orders of magnitude faster than numerical simulation, and at the same level of accuracy. We’re excited about what LGM-Aero brings as capabilities to our customers while recognizing that it is also an important stepping stone towards developing physics foundation models.”

LGM-Aero was developed using an extensive set of simulation technologies from Siemens to automate and scale the generation of high-quality training data, as well as AWS Batch and Amazon EC2 to scale compute during training. It is available on the PhysicsX AI engineering enterprise platform, which is trusted by some of the most sophisticated engineering and manufacturing organizations across advanced industries.

“We are thrilled to continue to build on our deep collaboration with AWS, and to announce the release of LGM-Aero and of Ai.rplane. This is a first step in transforming the way engineering is practiced in Advanced Industries,” added Robin Tuluie, founder and chairman of PhysicsX. “Over time, we will bring new capabilities to LGM-Aero and to Ai.rplane, allowing users to select powertrains, add controls and further content to reach mature designs in days rather than months or years.” 

LGM-Aero and Ai.rplane are available on the PhysicsX AI engineering platform. Ai.rplane is free-to-use and accessible via airplane.physicsx.ai.

Pastor taking flat earthers to Antarctica to end the debate

DENVER, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A pastor from Colorado hopes to end the debate over the shape of the Earth. Pastor Will Duffy’s plan? To bring both flat earthers and globe earthers to Antarctica! On December 14th, four flat earthers and four globe earthers will fly to Antarctica for what is being labeled The Final Experiment.

“I created The Final Experiment to end the debate over the shape of the Earth…once and for all.” –Will Duffy

On the globe, Antarctica is an island continent at the southernmost part of the world. But on a flat earth, Antarctica is an ice wall that encircles all the other continents and holds in all the world’s oceans. For years, flat earthers have said that Antarctica holds the key to proving the Earth is flat. But not a single flat earther has ever been to Antarctica. The-Final-Experiment.com Why not? They said the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 prevented them from going. And one of the reasons they believe the Antarctic Treaty was put in place was to specifically prevent people from visiting Antarctica during the summer, which is right now in the southern hemisphere. Visiting Antarctica in the summer is important because on the globe, the sun should not set in much of Antarctica during the summer due to the tilt of the Earth. But on a flat earth, since Antarctica is an ice wall encircling the rest of the world, the sun must rise and set each day. It could never circle in the sky all 24 hours, like it does in Antarctica.

A little over three years ago, Pastor Will Duffy was made aware that people still believe the Earth is flat when a longtime friend of his posted about it on Facebook. And he decided to take matters into his own hands. Since flat earthers said for years that Antarctica will show the world the truth about the shape of the Earth, Duffy decided the easiest solution would be to just go to Antarctica. Will Duffy added, “I created The Final Experiment to end this debate, once and for all. After we go to Antarctica, no one has to waste any more time debating the shape of the Earth.” https://www.youtube.com/@The-Final-Experiment

On December 14th, Duffy and the other eight participants of The Final Experiment (four flat earthers and four globe earthers) will fly with Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions to Union Glacier, Antarctica. As soon as they get off the plane and onto the ice, the clock will start. For the next 24 hours, they will monitor and film the sun. If it stays in the sky for 24 hours, the globe is confirmed. The real question is: will the flat earthers change their mind?
