They say data is gold.

However, raw-data on its own will never be as valuable as gold. It’s the post-processing and visualization tools that allow us to exploit all the added value that the data hides.

In the aerospace industry, we analyze a vast amount of raw data generated by high-fidelity simulators. When it comes to the validation and verification of flight control systems, the number of simulations required to be performed to check the aircraft’s controllability and handling qualities starts to build-up.

In some cases, we simulate millions of maneuvers to check that the aircraft never departs from a controlled flight condition under any circumstances.
