Now you’ve just made a shorter wing. With big turbulence pockets at the tips. You should look at the DARPA challenge, the VTOL drone that will have to do a long course and deliver things. It’s on YouTube.
I don’t know my time lines, but I thought the Great Lakes where relatively newer.

Probably, maybe, possibly, perhaps. All fun words. Having a hole in the wing is probably way worse than some windage. It cuts the balls out of the laminar flow and pressure differential. I’m no pilot, but as a sailor I can tell you that sails do not perform very well with holes in them.
Why not make the little ramp at the front of the wing so the air flows over it like a ramp and then you can do away with the entire rest of the wing?

How often do you draw your gun or pepper spray?

I was so into science fiction growing up. The science fact is quite depressing.
I think you guys just eat shitty chicken. Get a nice farm bird and cook it with the bone in with some flavourings and salt. A boneless pork chop can be just as boring if you cook it shitty enough.
