| Every aircraft is a compromise. It is either built to fly | | | | simultaneously increasing the payloads of smart |
| fast or slow to land in tight distances and carry more | | | | munitions to kill, annihilate and destroy the enemy to |
| weight. It is a jet or propeller driven craft. It costs a | | | | serve our political will. Smile in preemption, it is about |
| lot with high tech materials or it is simplistic and has | | | | winning. The system would be recessed into two-inch |
| less performance. Aircraft are built for many reasons, | | | | deep areas on the wings. Consider the landing speeds |
| each one maybe more or less important for its | | | | of an F-104, consider the ability to decrease the |
| intended purpose. Some aircraft are made to slightly | | | | weight of the landing gear and size of tires to |
| change in flight to serve a niche or a couple of niches | | | | increase payloads. Consider the ware and tear and |
| better than comparable type aircraft. As we learn | | | | maintenance costs, which would be saved? Consider |
| more about our options of materials in aerospace we | | | | the slow speed changes in flight characteristic and |
| learn of was to incorporate multiple uses and still | | | | decreased safety risks in shorter take off and landing |

| I propose an inflatable wing camber modification | | | | For UAVs the performance would allow additional |
