Abstract
Box-wings are a subset of nonplanar wing designs which have shown promise as a configuration for future transport aircraft. This configuration has been the subject of several studies seeking to determine the optimal wing configuration. However there is uncertainty as to the sensitivity of the wing’s aerodynamic performance, represented as a lift to drag ratio, to changes in some of the its geometric parameters. Specifically, the effects of the stream-wise stagger and the relative area of the two wings are not clear. This study seeks to identify the trends in aerodynamic performance as these parameters are varied while enforcing critical design constraints. Three such constraints are considered: the ability to maintain inherent static stability at cruise, the ability to perform a maneuver without stalling, and the ability to generate sufficient lift to support the aircraft at cruise conditions. A better understanding how the design parameters affect the aerodynamic performance of feasible box-wing designs will provide a better understanding of the sensitivities of such designs and will enable more meaningful analysis of the results from more comprehensive multidisciplinary studies.

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
