Can Claude Fly a Plane?
Summary
The article chronicles Claude attempting to pilot a Cessna in X-Plane 12 using Python-based control loops, recording crashes and iterative tuning of a proportional controller. It highlights issues such as elevator gain, rate damping, and controller gaps, and demonstrates how a simplified AI-driven flight control approach can achieve stable climb and cruise but struggle to land, offering lessons in control-system debugging for AI automation in simulations.
