These machines are not just hardware; they are constraints made visible.

Read as logistics

  • Capacity affects flexibility
  • Weather affects timing
  • Timing affects survivability

Observation prompts

  1. Where is movement most restricted?
  2. What fails first in rough landing conditions?
  3. How does spacing affect exit speed?
capacity + weather + navigation + timing = mission friction

A map shows where forces moved; aircraft exhibits show what that movement cost.
