01 / The problem
What had to change
Autonomy and detect-and-avoid experiments need a repeatable environment before they move toward physical flight tests.
02 / The constraints
What the system had to respect
- The model must represent fixed-wing flight behavior.
- Test runs must be repeatable enough to compare changes.
- The code must stay public and easy to inspect.
03 / The build
What I made
- A Python simulator with six-degree-of-freedom fixed-wing flight dynamics.
- Airfoil-data comparison, parameter tuning, and physics-validation workflows.
- A browser-based 3D view and public code for autonomy experiments.
04 / The result
The useful change
The repository provides a controlled place to test fixed-wing autonomy ideas before field work.
