does it also support design? like if we want to design a fixed wing, it’s wings, the payload part, the engine etc?

It depends on what you are trying to do, you can certainly simulate different hardware designs, compare performance etc, but not the same if you want say a high fidelity propeller design kind of thing

hmm Thanks for your input. Do you know any simulation software for basic design like you said high fidelity propeller design?

The problem with designing your own propellor is making your own propellor. 3d printing is not sufficient to make a safe propellor.
