AI Aerodynamic Optimisation Platform AOX Showcased at CES
ADRO Inc. showcased AOX (Aerodynamic Optimisation eXperience), its AI-driven aerodynamic design and optimisation platform, at CES 2026. AOX demonstrated how artificial intelligence, combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), can enable faster, more informed aerodynamic decisions across automotive development workflows. AOX continues to move towards a public beta launch planned for the first half of 2026.
AOX enables real-time visualisation and evaluation of airflow behaviour in the early stages of vehicle development. The platform integrates AI-assisted guidance with CFD-based aerodynamic principles. Engineers and designers can explore aerodynamic trade-offs more efficiently. AOX complements existing CFD, simulation, and physical validation infrastructure rather than replacing it.
"AOX is designed to support faster aerodynamic decision-making without disrupting established CFD workflows," said Seunghyun Yoon, CEO of ADRO Inc. "By introducing AI-driven guidance earlier in the development process, teams can explore a broader range of design possibilities before committing to costly simulations or physical testing."
At CES 2026, ADRO Inc. presented AOX through live demonstrations using real vehicle data. The team focused on production-relevant applications rather than conceptual simulations. The demonstrations showed how geometric changes influence airflow behaviour in near-real time. They also highlighted how AOX connects digital aerodynamic analysis with practical design decisions.
The exhibition included physical and virtual validation examples. A Porsche GT3 fitted with aerodynamically optimised exterior components showed performance-focused aerodynamic development. A truck scale model optimised for efficiency showed how teams can apply aerodynamic optimisation to commercial and energy-conscious mobility solutions. These contrasting use cases demonstrated AOX’s flexibility across vehicle segments and aerodynamic objectives.
AOX builds on applied aerodynamic expertise gained through years of physical vehicle development and validated aerodynamic components. This foundation helps the platform align AI-driven insights with real-world design constraints, manufacturing considerations, and implementation realities. AOX also targets a long-standing gap between simulation outputs and executable aerodynamic solutions.
Throughout CES 2026, AOX attracted interest from automotive manufacturers, advanced engineering teams, and performance-focused organisations exploring next-generation aerodynamic development workflows. Teams have started multiple technical discussions about potential evaluations and collaborative applications of AI-assisted aerodynamics.
AOX is currently in a closed beta, and ADRO Inc. has scheduled a broader beta programme for the first half of 2026. Industry partners and development teams can pre-register via the official AOX website to receive early access updates and participation opportunities.
