The bag skirt is inflatable to provide an air cushion during touchdown and deflatable during flight of the air vehicle. The air vehicle also includes a cover roller adjacent the bag skirt, and a cover portion coupled to the cover roller. The cover roller is operable between exposed position and unexposed positions to expose and hide the bag skirt with the cover portion. The cover roller includes an extensible shaft and a pad securely wrapped around the extensible shaft. The extensible shaft is capable of being rotated along a shaft axis. One end of the extensible shaft is pivotally coupled to the hull by an anchor. A circumference of the cover roller is configured as a function of a distance between the exposed and the unexposed positions.

The aerodynamic arrangement has a improved ability to fly controllably in the gusty environment that causes difficulty for small light weight aircraft. A method of mounting pneumatic and fabric shapes onto a Damage Resistant Aircraft with parts facilitating a round structure. Use of the pneumatic shapes to adjust the length and stiffness of the post. The post produces tension on the structure that It presses against. Inflatable post ends and an attachment system. Multi piece removable wing tips which allow deflation, access and small folding volume of the inflatable structure. All tension rudders are formed inside the net structure where it is protected from damage.
