Aerodynamic Inflatable Wing Gates for STOL
Before takeoff these inflatable gates will blown up into place with small canisters. I propose inflatable wing gates to pop up on modern day aircraft to allow for slower stall speeds on landing. The hinges will be on the side closest to the end of the wing not the fuselage as to not upset the already turbulent airflows at high angles of attack or near stall speeds. The gates will fold straight up and recessed into the wing with a panel, which pops outward. The gates will use the same air in the lines which are cross fed so that one gate cannot come up or stay up without the other.

Inflatable Slots for STOL
I propose inflatable slots to increase the short take off and landing performance of aircraft. Cartridges only used for extreme take off performance safety factors or emergency landings. For standard landings if desired the system would be filled with ram air rather than a cartridge. Each system would contain ten rechargeable cartridges. Additionally a secondary cartridge could be deployed on touch down, which would act as an airbrake causing the aircraft to come to an almost immediate stop.

5 Tips for Stress Free Long Haul Flights
He also has a home in South Australia and finds the flight back considerably more comfortable with an inflatable travel pillow. An Ezysleep inflatable travel pillow, for example is designed to deal with the issue of supporting your neck whilst upright but there are other things you can do. You're 40,000 feet away from everything, make the most of it. Most importantly, enjoy the flight! Enjoy that time away from the mobile phones and the boss and the traffic and relax. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a constant worry for long haul travelers.

Inflatable Aircraft Wing Camber Modification
I propose an inflatable wing camber modification system for modern day fighter aircraft to save on fuel and increase range. For UAVs the performance would allow additional time loitering in the battlespace with increased range and slow flight speeds would allow for better imagery to identify targets before eliminating them from this time period. The performance changes would also vastly assist in close air support or carrier landing handling. Consider the ware and tear and maintenance costs, which would be saved? Consider the slow speed changes in flight characteristic and decreased safety risks in shorter take off and landing rolls. Consider the landing speeds of an F-104, consider the ability to decrease the weight of the landing gear and size of tires to increase payloads.

Increasing TAS in Modern Day Fighters with Expandable Wing Tips
Straight out, 26 degrees and 45 degrees, behind this fold out spar would be a webbing of strong inflatable polymer rubbery material made of partially MMM Manufactured material memory substances. As the aircraft approached the speed of sound it would be completely retracted. As the webbing retracts it would run thru a roller system allowing it to take up very little space, as the area it retracts into will also hold fuel tanks and space would be limited. As the folding spar comes back it would provide an end-cap covering the system as well as a small gate or strake on the protruding fuselage/wing tip. At 450 to 500 Knots the wing would fold back to 26-degree and then at 550 to 600 Knots fold back to 45-degrees.
