Increasing TAS in Modern Day Fighters with Expandable Wing Tips


As fighter aircraft get faster and faster there is a diminishing return on more aerodynamic streamlining in designs. You can only build the aircraft so "Aerodynamically Correct" once you have the best optimum design for speed, there is little you can do without changing the aircraft in-flight or the air itself.

Common Cockpit Concepts and Convenient Configurations


One of the big pushes in aviation and military is to have common cockpit designs, which are ergonomically correct.

The proper use of essential oils during your in-flight routine, in addition to having aromatic, anti-bacterial, and therapeutic benefits, can also help you avoid having YOUR skin resemble the Sahara desert or a topological contour map (where lines and wrinkles denote elevation).
