Air
  • AWES that use air as its media is affected by air; wanting to capture opportunities, knowledge of air seems to be a right thing to have. 
  • AWES niche applications might include matters of air quality: tracking, cleaning, sensing, reporting, altering, adding, ....
  • Some AWES use air to inflate bladders, chambers, wing cells. Some of the inflations are encased. Some inflations are not encased, yet have by ram-air dynamics a pressure that is above ambient air pressure. Evolutes of the Jalbert parafoil sometimes could adopt both dynamics:  ram-air open cells and encased closed cells holding positive air pressure; some could hold pressure-release valves; some could have re-flation mechanism that maintain air pressure.
