Research In Flight (RIF)

The Research In Flight (RIF) company was established in Auburn, Alabama in 2012 with the aim of developing new aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis tools for aerospace engineering applications. The nucleus of this new-born company was the FlightStream® numerical flow solver that allows for rapid analysis of flow results over advanced geometries without requiring volume meshes. The FlightStream® solver is versatile and foundational in its ability to work with unstructured surface meshes and have solver run times of only seconds. Since then, RIF has grown from the brainchild of its two founders to a company with several developers and research engineers, driven at its heart into making the aerospace industry aware of the revolutionary capabilities of the FlightStream® flow solver, through development of increasingly advanced tools. And the future is limitless.
