This copy looks good to me. I've added a few thoughts.
| <p><strong>KiCad</strong> for circuit board design<br> | ||
| Open source, on GitHub. Same workflow as everything else.</p> | ||
| <h3>SIMULATION</h3> | ||
| <p><strong>Fusion 360 FEA</strong> for structural analysis<br> |

We have used FEAs a lot. I think this is worth keeping.
| <strong>XFLR5</strong> for aerodynamics<br> | ||
| <strong>Custom Python scripts</strong> for flight dynamics</p> | ||
| <p>We simulate heavily before building. Saves time and money.</p> | ||

Should we also include SITL simulations?

Not sure how to fit it into this section, but mentioning we have developed some tools in house? Flight tracking platform, Quiver Web UI, motor thrust testing software, etc.
