Cobra Aero Reimagines the Combustion Engine Cylinder using Multiphysics Simulation & Driven Design

Cobra Aero completely redesigned the air-cooled cylinder of their UAV drone engines for Additive Manufacturing. Using conformal lattice structures, they developed an engine cylinder that is manufacturable in one piece with minimal support and weighs only 420 grams — a fraction of the weight compared to the lightest cylinder among their competitors.
