Energy and Altitude Gain

Comparability Before Consumption

M0.6.7 defines a limited A/B comparison of onboard energy. A common comparison state is specified, but its reachability and the energy difference have not been demonstrated.

System Boundary

The comparison covers only onboard energy from two externally specified mechanical initial states to an identically defined nominal terminal state. External provision energy is excluded. This yields no conclusions about total energy, economic viability or life-cycle costs.

02

Equivalence of Comparison

The MEG corrects spatially and kinematically unequal terminal conditions. A definition, however, does not yet prove that both variants can dynamically reach that state. Arrival times and energy differences remaining within tolerances must be assessed separately.

03

Result Status UNBESTIMMT

The sign and magnitude of ΔQ_onboard are UNBESTIMMT (undetermined). Neither an advantage of either variant nor common reachability, unique trajectories or concrete consumption figures have been substantiated. Settled definitional questions do not settle questions of dynamics or validation.

04

Four Outcomes Instead of False Precision

ERREICHT, NICHT_ERREICHBAR, NUMERISCH_FEHLGESCHLAGEN and UNBESTIMMT remain distinct. A solver failure does not prove physical impossibility. A judgment of unreachability requires appropriate proof, not merely an unsuccessful integration attempt.

05

Subsequent Methodology

M1a.0.2 FROZEN tests dimensionless methods and synthetic events in a separate branch. This evidence is not backported to the older M0.6.7 freeze or its ROS assessments. A subsequent physical branch M1b remains hypothetical.

06

Continuation of October 18–20 · No Baseline Change

H-A-ATT-01 marks unresolved attitude and rotational dynamics. Assumed stabilization must not be read as a validated initial state or a consumption advantage. The later synthesis audit explicitly limits such conclusions; M0.6.7 remains unchanged and ΔQ_onboard UNBESTIMMT (undetermined).
