I will perform openvsp aerodynamic analysis for aircraft and uavs


Level 1
Gig Summary
About this gig
Need reliable aerodynamic data before prototyping or flight testing?
I will perform OpenVSP aerodynamic analysis for aircraft and UAVs using NASA-developed VSPAERO. I can create or refine your aircraft geometry and evaluate lift, drag, pitching moment, efficiency, stability, and performance across defined flight conditions.
Services:
- OpenVSP aircraft, UAV, drone, wing, tail, and fuselage modeling
- Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) and panel-method analysis
- Angle-of-attack, velocity, and configuration sweeps
- CL, CD, Cm, L/D ratio, aerodynamic polars, and load results
- Stability and control-derivative analysis where applicable
- Wing, tail, airfoil, and geometry comparison
- Performance plots, result interpretation, and engineering reports
- OpenVSP source files and export formats according to package
I bring 6+ years of freelance engineering experience across 108 completed projects, including UAV design and aerodynamic evaluation.
Please message me before ordering with your mission, dimensions or model, airfoil data, flight conditions, and required outputs. I will confirm the suitable method, scope, price, and delivery time.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What information do you need before starting?
Please provide the project objective, existing OpenVSP model or aircraft dimensions, airfoil information, flight conditions, required outputs, and any reference drawings or performance data. Mass and center-of-gravity information are needed when stability is requested.
Can you create the OpenVSP model for me?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages include creating or refining an aircraft or UAV model from supplied dimensions, sketches, drawings, or reference geometry. The Basic package requires a valid client-provided model.
Do you use VLM or the panel method?
I select the method according to the geometry, analysis objective, and flight conditions. VLM uses OpenVSP degenerate geometry, while the panel method uses surface triangulation. The technically suitable method will be confirmed before the order starts.
Can VSPAERO predict stall or separated flow?
VSPAERO is a linear aerodynamic solver and does not directly model stall or flow separation. It is most suitable for preliminary analysis under normal flight conditions. High-angle-of-attack, strongly viscous, or separated-flow problems should use higher-fidelity CFD.
What results can you provide?
Depending on the project, results may include CL, CD, Cm, L/D, forces, moments, aerodynamic polars, spanwise loading, stability derivatives, comparison plots, visualizations, and engineering conclusions.
Does this gig include ANSYS CFD?
No. This gig is dedicated to OpenVSP and VSPAERO analysis. High-fidelity ANSYS CFD is offered separately so each gig remains focused and the analysis method matches the problem.
Can you analyze propeller or eVTOL effects?
Actuator-disk or propeller-influence analysis can be discussed when the required inputs are available and VSPAERO is suitable. Rotor-resolved or strongly interacting eVTOL flows may require higher-fidelity CFD.
What counts as a revision?
A revision covers reasonable adjustments or corrections within the originally agreed geometry, flight conditions, and outputs. New configurations, extensive geometry changes, or additional operating conditions require an extra or custom offer.

I had a geometry which I asked him to simulate. He found a lot of errors in the geometry so he redesigned it from zero in order to be able to simulate and deliver my order.. Other than that, he was very communicative and easy to reach and talk to. 10/10. would very strongly recommend.
