Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fuel consumption has always been a major issue in the aviation industry, as all of its actors try to reduce it, to get the best carbon footprint possible. One of the answers to this issue is the reduction of drag caused by airplanes. The aim of this study was to implement airfoil morphing wing technology using neural networks methods. Specifically, the study was focused on finding an airfoil shape, given a set of aerodynamic coefficients (CL, CD, Cm) as inputs. Networks used lift, drag and pitching moment coefficients in order to generate a parametrized airfoil. Several networks were created using different parameters, and their results were compared, to verify the quality of the results, as well as the importance of the different parameters in the end-outcomes. After, the best network was used to generate airfoils, which aerodynamic properties were verified and compared to their reference aerodynamic performances to validate this method. The best networks reached an important efficiency of almost 70% generating airfoils with errors below 0.005 (Sum squared error). Finally, in order to create a highly effective tool for the objectives of this paper, a complementary study was conducted, in which the angle of attack was included as one of the inputs. This work is useful for determining airfoil shapes based on the knowledge of aerodynamic coefficients.

Not 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.
