“Do Diffusion Models Dream of Electric Planes?” Discrete and Continuous Simulation-Based Inference for Aircraft Design
ICML 2026poster
In this paper, we generate conceptual engineering designs of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. We follow the paradigm of simulation-based inference (SBI), whereby we look to learn a posterior distribution over the full eVTOL design space. To learn this distribution, we must sa…
