Claim 1:
2. The air vehicle according to claim 1, including one of:
wherein the DEP system is configured for providing said augmented lift to the main aerodynamic lift generating wing arrangement in separated wake conditions and for selectively concurrently generating enhanced drag such as to enable the air vehicle to provide at least powered aerodynamic landing at said separated wake conditions and at a landing air speed less than the nominal stall speed of the air vehicle absent operation of the DEP system;
wherein the DEP system is configured for providing said augmented lift to the main aerodynamic lift generating wing arrangement in separated wake conditions and for selectively concurrently generating enhanced drag such as to enable the air vehicle to provide at least powered aerodynamic landing at said separated wake conditions and at a landing air speed less than the nominal stall speed of the air vehicle absent operation of the DEP system, and, wherein said separated wake conditions correspond to freestream conditions generally expected on a landing pad of a moving seafaring platform;
wherein the DEP system is configured for providing said augmented lift to the main aerodynamic lift generating wing arrangement in separated wake conditions and for selectively concurrently generating enhanced drag such as to enable the air vehicle to provide at least powered aerodynamic landing at said separated wake conditions and at a landing air speed less than the nominal stall speed of the air vehicle absent operation of the DEP system, and, wherein said landing air speed is an airspeed not greater than 30 knots or not greater than 32 knots; or
wherein the DEP system is configured for providing said augmented lift to the main aerodynamic lift generating wing arrangement in separated wake conditions and for selectively concurrently generating enhanced drag such as to enable the air vehicle to provide at least powered aerodynamic landing at said separated wake conditions and at a landing air speed less than the nominal stall speed of the air vehicle absent operation of the DEP system, and, wherein said separated wake conditions correspond to freestream conditions generally expected on a landing pad of a moving seafaring platform, and, wherein said landing air speed is an airspeed not greater than 30 knots or not greater than 32 knots.
