Claim 10:
11. The composite air vehicle system according to claim 10, including one of the following:
wherein the at least one connector element is in the form of an aerodynamically contoured spacer body;
wherein the at least one connector element is in the form of an aerodynamically contoured spacer body, and, wherein the at least one connector element is in the form of an aerodynamic vertical fin when the composite air vehicle is in straight and level flight, having an aerofoil-like cross-section, a leading edge and a trailing edge; or
wherein the at least one connector element is in the form of an aerodynamically contoured spacer body, and, wherein the at least one connector element has a swept-back aerodynamic configuration, which facilitates providing a required longitudinal spacing and height spacing between the first air vehicle and the second air vehicle in the composite air vehicle.
