Abstract
View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2022-3792.vid A project aimed at developing and flight-testing a small-scale supersonic uncrewed aerial vehicle (SSUAV) at the University of Calgary is introduced and current progress described. The project's goals, design trade-offs, and future plans are explained. A six degree-of-freedom mathematical model is developed and simulated to explore the controllability of the aircraft. The SSUAV model is trimmed and linearized throughout the flight regime to evaluate handling qualities and inform control requirements. Evaluation of response mode time constants according to MIL-STD-1797 show acceptable controllability characteristics at cruise conditions. Further comparison of time constants with similar aircraft of various scales identifies an extreme sensitivity to roll input as a challenge impeding the development of SSUAVs. Continued validation of existing methods and development of new methods for predicting aircraft controllability is required to further the field of small-scale supersonic aircraft.

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
