What primarily drives the use of generative design in aerospace engineering?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. **What it is:** Generative design uses algorithms to explore many shapes and layouts.
2. **Main aim in aerospace:** The main goal is to cut $mass$ while keeping strength and durability.
3. **Why it works:** The method finds optimized, often organic, layouts that give lowest weight and high durability.
4. **Other options:** Payload integration, life-support redundancy, and propulsion design are important but not the primary driver for generative design.
