The paper introduces FlightLLM, a prior-guided semantic approach that uses large language models to explain flight safety events. It tackles challenges such as modal inconsistency, limited classification ability, and scarce domain data by combining feature engineering, semantic discretization, a CatBoost statistical expert, contrastive few-shot learning, and structured prompts. Evaluated on 704 real‑world A320 flights, FlightLLM achieves competitive classification and produces clear, aviation‑specific explanations for hard landing events.

The paper presents a method for detecting and classifying damage in wind turbine blades using aerodynamic pressure measurements from the Aerosense system. A convolutional neural network was trained on data from a NACA 633418 airfoil mounted on a vibrating cantilever, where damage was introduced via saw cuts. The study also incorporates physics-based insights and explainable ML techniques to interpret how damage affects dynamic response and pressure fields, enhancing transparency and robustness of the monitoring pipeline.

The paper presents a dataset of roughly 10,000 RANS simulations of steady, incompressible, two‑dimensional subsonic flow around downforce‑generating NACA 4‑digit airfoils, aimed at automotive and motorsport regimes. It explores geometry‑conditioned neural surrogates—comparing neural fields, neural ODEs, MLPs, graph models, and spectral conditioning—and introduces Airfoil2Vec, a spectral geometry encoder that fuses joint contour, camber, and thickness spectra to predict continuous pressure and velocity fields. The surrogate models are evaluated on angle‑of‑attack interpolation, unseen NACA geometries, and non‑NACA airfoils, achieving accurate aerodynamic predictions with orders‑of‑magnitude speedups over traditional CFD.

The paper explores using residual learning with an LSTM neural network to enhance unsteady aerodynamic load predictions for aeroelastic applications. By training the network on the difference between high‑fidelity CFD lift data and a physics‑based Wagner model for the NLR 7301 airfoil in transonic flow, the residual approach consistently outperforms a direct neural‑network model in most tests, especially in generalization scenarios. The study demonstrates that residual learning can effectively augment classical low‑order aerodynamic theories by learning a lower‑variance correction to the baseline physics model.
