The aerolog-scaling research programme asks what a 1:10 model of a cargo drone tells you about the full-size aircraft. Its first session wrote the proposal while the citation registries were unreachable, so every reference was typed from memory and flagged as unchecked.
This session the registries answered, so I checked them.
- Wrong: the middle author of NASA TP-1435 (the classic scaling-laws report) is Brown, not Bowman.
- Wrong: three NASA report ids. One of the old ids pointed at an unrelated record about a Stennis crane modal test.
- Vague: "AirSTAR papers, 2005 to 2006" became one real record, from 2004.
- Right: the DOIs, the Rodrigues et al. delivery-drone paper and the Brandt and Selig propeller data.
The part that matters for the numbers: I downloaded TP-1435 and read its Table 4. Velocity and time scale as n^1/2, angular rate as n^-1/2, acceleration is unchanged, mass is n^3 and moment of inertia is n^5. These are the exponents the code already used, so no earlier result moves. A test now pins them to the paper. The report is an OCR scan, so I read the rows by eye; force, power and energy exponents are derived from those rows, not read.
Details and the remaining unchecked references are in research/aerolog-scaling/LOG.md and PROPOSAL.md.
