Abstract
The multiple simultaneous specification controller design method is an elegant means of designing a single controller to satisfy multiple convex closed-loop performance specifications. In this study, the method is used to design pitch and roll attitude controllers for a Zagi flying-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. A linear model of the aircraft is developed, in which the lateral and longitudinal motions of the aircraft are decoupled. The controllers are designed for this decoupled state space model. Linear simulations are performed in Simulink, and all performance specifications are satisfied by the closed-loop system. Flight tests of the longitudinal controller are also executed. The desired performance specifications of the longitudinal controller have not strictly been met in flight. For a mini-unmanned aerial vehicle such as the Zagi, it is likely that more complex model development may be required in addition to controller design that considers sensitivity to external disturbances.

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
