Abstract
Recently there has been a trend in developing morphing airborne structures to positively affect the aerodynamics, flight performance and stability of aircraft, and act as replacements for control surfaces. Most wing level morphing projects focus on variable sweep, dihedral, wing twist or span, but very few combine more than one of these morphing methodologies to achieve greater morphing functionality. Also the methods used for actuation differ significantly from one morphing method to the next. Presented is the type synthesis of a modular variable geometry truss mechanism for aircraft wing morphing. Each truss module resembles a Gough-Stewart platform which is augmented with a central leg. The structural truss members are replaced with active and passive prismatic joints to achieve 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-DOF morphing for individual or simultaneous wing sweep, dihedral, twist and span. Kinematic requirements are outlined for each truss module and are related to the architecture of the central leg. The wings of a robotic bird are modelled as an example of the modular VGTM morphing wing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
