	Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract DE-AC02-06CH11357. A new inflight radioactive ion separator (AIRIS) is being designed for the ATLAS facility at Argonne. AIRIS will be used to separate and produce secondary radioactive beams from the interaction of ATLAS primary beams in a production target. AIRIS will be at least 10 times more efficient than the existing radioactive beam capability. We have made significant progress in the design and simulations of AIRIS including full 3D models of all the elements to consider their real dimensions and produce realistic 3D fields. The resolving power of the device has been studied for several reaction cases using realistic cross sections and kinematics. In addition to the magnetic separation of the device, a RF sweeper is being designed to take advantage of the time separation of the different beams and reject the primary beam tail and other potential contaminants in order to produce higher purity secondary beams. The latest AIRIS design and simulation results will be presented and discussed.
