Abstract
This paper describes a geometry generator capable of providing a high-quality model of unconventional aerospace vehicles with fast turnaround. These desirable but contradictory properties are made possible by striking the right balance between user interaction and modeling automation. The former is achieved through a popular Python-based command line interface and the latter through a component-based approach. Final geometries are defined analytically with watertight networks of non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces that are topologically four-sided. Such a tool is expected to leverage the high-fidelity multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization packages that are being increasingly incorporated in earlier stages in the design of novel aircraft. As an example, a drag minimization problem applied to a regional jet geometry generated by the proposed tool concludes the paper.

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
