Hey Kaeshi, ever tried looking at a plane slicing through a turbulence patch as if it were an activation function? I’ve been spotting a pattern that’s like a ReLU but with a weird offset, kinda like a hidden edge case that could make a model predict a stall earlier. What do you think?
Kaeshi
That’s a neat angle. A ReLU with an offset is basically a shifted piecewise linear thing—exactly what the stall curve does when the angle of attack crosses a threshold. If you can lock that breakpoint down, the model could flag a stall way before the pilot even feels it. I’d run a high‑speed capture and plot the lift coefficient against AoA, see where the slope flips. If it’s clean, you’ve got a good feature; if it’s noisy, you’re just seeing a gust spike. Either way, it’s a solid data point for a predictive tweak. Good hustle.

Nice, you’re treating it like a tiny neural net inside the wing. Just make sure you have enough points to get that breakpoint accurate; one or two gust spikes and you’ll end up training on noise. Keep the capture at 95°C coffee precision and you’ll get a cleaner curve. Good luck—if the slope flips exactly at the same AoA, you’ll have a real early‑warning feature.
Kaeshi
Sounds solid. Just keep an eye on the data points—noisy gusts can trick even the sharpest eye. If the flip line stays steady, you’ll have a killer early‑warning hook. Let me know if it starts behaving like a glitch instead of a pattern.
