Abstract

This study investigates how machine learning and Python-based NOISE visualization can be integrated into real-time aerodynamic feedback systems to improve aircraft stability and safety. Using physical wing prototypes, embedded gyroscope sensors, servo-driven actuators, and COMSOL Multiphysics simulations, six wing configurations were evaluated under controlled turbulent conditions. Performance was quantified across roll, pitch, and yaw axes. A neural network trained on real-time orientation data generated corrective servo angles for the rudder and elevator surfaces. Results demonstrate that the high wing configuration offers superior passive stability due to its inherent pendulum restoring effect, while the machine learning feedback loop further reduces instability incidents through adaptive, data-driven control. Fuel efficiency improvements exceeded initial projections in several trials, suggesting that precision morphing technology combined with artificial intelligence represents a viable path toward significantly safer commercial aviation.
