Computational intelligence methods for helicopter loads estimation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Accurately determining component loads on a helicopter is an important goal in the helicopter structural integrity field. While measuring dynamic component loads directly is possible, these measurement methods are not reliable and are difficult to maintain. This paper explores the potential of using computational intelligence methods to estimate some of these helicopter dynamic loads. Thirty standard time-dependent flight state and control system parameters were used to construct a set of 180 input variables to estimate the main rotor blade normal bending during forward level flight at full speed. Unsupervised nonlinear mapping was used to study the structure of the multidimensional time series from the predictor and target variables. Based on these criteria, black and white box modeling techniques (including ensemble models) for main rotor blade normal bending prediction were applied. They include neural networks, local linear regression and model trees, in combination with genetic algorithms based on residual variance (gamma test) for predictor variables selection. The results from this initial work demonstrate that accurate models for predicting component loads can be obtained using the entire set of predictor variables, as well as with smaller subsets found by computational intelligence based approaches.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
