Stallion 3D in the Early Aerodynamic Design Process of Your Subscale, eVTOL, UAV and Aircraft Models

NASA Raven-SWFT Subscale eVTOL Model

What is Stallion 3D?

Stallion 3D by Hanley Innovations is a standalone aerodynamic simulation software for engineers, educators, and innovators. It runs on Windows PCs and provides fast, insightful analysis of aircraft, UAS, automotive shapes, and more—without the steep learning curve or cost of traditional CFD software.

Why Use Stallion 3D Early in the Design Process?

Early-stage designs need quick feedback—without the overhead of high-end tools. Stallion 3D fits right here, providing fast results, cost-efficiency, and actionable insights before you're ready to invest in more expensive CFD platforms.

• Fast Turnaround: Simulate 3D bodies in minutes from STL files—no external meshing required.
• Affordable Licensing: Available as a one-time purchase with a perpetual license—perfect for small teams and startups.
• Design Filtering: Evaluate and compare concepts early, discarding poor performers quickly.
• Pre-CFD Screening: Reduce costly CFD time by validating designs with Stallion 3D first.

When to Use Stallion 3D

• Concept development and rapid feasibility studies
• Design screening for wings, UAVs, fuselages, and vehicles
• Educational aerodynamic demonstrations in classrooms
• Small businesses needing in-house simulation tools
• Desktop CFD without cloud dependencies or subscriptions

Conclusion

Stallion 3D is a tool to accelerate early aerodynamic insight. It's not a replacement for advanced CFD—but a smart first step in getting there. With it, you can steer your project in the right direction from the start—quickly, affordably, and with confidence.
