SunCubes, a deep-tech startup developing laser-based wireless energy transmission, is deploying SimScale’s Engineering AI to design and validate systems that let drones and UAVs recharge in flight or at remote stations without physical contact.
Using agentic simulation, the company evaluates the thermal, structural and aerodynamic performance of its drone architectures, aiming to reduce reliance on physical prototyping. The work addresses range and endurance limits affecting commercial and industrial drone use, including delivery, remote infrastructure monitoring and agricultural operations where batteries are currently swapped manually, across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, logistics, construction and security. The move comes as drone operators across multiple industries continue to seek solutions to extend flight range and reduce downtime.
